Write drunk, edit sober

Write drunk, edit sober.

Is there any truth to this adage? I've been practicing it for a few years now while practicing law, and it's been working out for me. I'd like to hear some other perspectives.

>Get drunk
>Rush of emotions, the words fly out
>Read the next day, cringe at the pretentiousness of it all

Why not? The art's in the constructing and cleaning up anyway. If alcohol enables (you) to express what Jungians call 'prima materia' then that gives (you) something to play with- clay to mold.
>if it ain't broke etc.

This is going to sound equally pretentious because I'm very much not sober, but are not the drunken words the most true and honest?

Is honesty pretentious?

imagine if any human was honest ever??

>I know nothing
or
>incoherent screams because reality is so strange

Or, both.

I know nothing. Reality is also very strange.

I often ponder suicide.

Pop always said 'a drunken man's words are a sober man's thoughts' -and- 'if you can't afford tip, you can't afford to go out' -and- etc.

Golden gems of wisdom, as mine calls them.

I like your dad. And I like (you) for not correcting him. Some things, though perhaps mistaken, should be left as they are. That said, I'm all for the flawed marriage of alcohol and lit. Think I'll light a candle.

nah, write drunk edit drunk
