When was super depressed, I wasn’t working—I was always too depressed. Hemingway did his best work when he didn’t drink, then he drank himself to death and blew his head off with a shotgun. Someone asked John Cheever, “What’d you learn from Hemingway?” and he said “I learned not to blow my head off with a shotgun.” I remember going to the Michigan poetry festival, meeting Etheridge Knight there and Robert Creeley. Creeley was so drunk—he was reading and he only had one eye, of course, and had to hold his book like two inches from his face using his one good eye. But you look at somebody like George Saunders—I think he’s the best short story writer in English alive—that’s somebody who tries very hard to live a sane, alert life.
You’re present when you’re not drinking a fifth of Jack Daniel’s every day. It’s probably better for your writing career, you know? I think being tortured as a virtue is a kind of antiquated sense of what it is to be an artist.
In an interview with The Fix, Mary Karr debunks the toxic mythology that it is necessary to be damaged in order to be creative. My own vehement defiance to that mythology is what led me to choose Ray Bradbury – the ultimate epitome of creating from joy rather than suffering – as the subject of my contribution to The New York Times’ The Lives They Lived.
Pair with Karr on why writers write.

i didn’t graduate high school on time (i graduated the summer after the rest of my class).
both of my parents got GEDs, and i was the first person in my family (except for my stepdad) to make it past 10th grade.graduating late, or not at all, doesn’t mean you’re dumb or worthless.
graduating, or graduating with honors, doesn’t mean you’re smart and more worthwhile as a person.
don’t be a fuckface to people about their diploma status.
My dad has GED. And a Ph.D.
So. I agree, is what I’m saying here.

in harry potter we don’t say “i love you” we say “LILY TAKE HARRY AND RUN GO I’LL HOLD HIM OFF” which roughly translates to “james potter is better than your sorry ass” and i think that’s beautiful
#i don’t care who you ship lily with #but if you try to tell me james never really loved lily #or she /deserved/ to be with someone different #i’ll probably shit in your backpack
