This
week's answer:
Writing
and Illness
They're are many sick writers.
Writers
who are so disturbed and lost and neurotic and crazy and not
to be trusted and who write in big, italicized font to
impress their readers
Oh, you mean "sick" as in
"physically ill"! That's a different potato
altogether. Should you write when you're sick?
Good question. I'm going to assume that you wrote it
when you were sick. Physically sick. And, going
with that assumption, let me now ask you a
question. When you wrote that question, were you
seeing your monitor screen through blurry eyes and from a
foggy, feverish, dizzy head? If so, that's pretty sick
and I wouldn't advise you writing when you're like
that. Well, unless you're writing a medical drama or
medical comedy or medical melodrama or a dramatic doctor
comedy. Then, writing sick could work very nicely.
Or how about a script about a
blurry-eyed, foggy, feverish, dizzy-headed writer?
