Don’t Drink and Blog
Comments: 6
Someone should take away your keyboard so you don’t blog drunk. Had a friend over for yakitori last night and after a couple of bottles of Australian red (the good kind) my typing skills go all to hell.

I’ve blogged drunk before, it always makes for interesting reading the next morning. I’m the type of guy who can still type normally even when I’m too drunk to stand-up or walk. I remember after a halloween party logging on to blog about it and finding an entry already there from 3am (posted while I was at the party) it wasn’t very coherent but it was pretty funny.

I kinda like the idea of Blogging While Intoxicated (BWI) because it paints the full picture of what your thoughts were the night (morning?) before. Sometimes I come up with my best rants in this manner. Other times it’s utter tripe. One can always erase the post, of course; that’s the beauty of it.

Mark Twain once said, “Write drunk, edit sober”.
The idea is that you’ve got an internal writer and an internal editor; when you’re sober, the editor can have too much power, and make it tough for you to write. Some alcohol loosens that up, and lets you get some writing done.
But don’t forget the “edit sober” part. :)

I thought that it was Timothy Leary… ;-)

“Leary once told me that he thought that the best single piece of advice he could give to a writer was to either write stoned and edit sober, or vice versa.”
