To ponder a small thought

Every writer I have read and adored has had a very strange past...full of drugs, sex, and rehab...and the question I have to ask myself is: These abuses...do they make you the writer that you need to be? I am a very moral person (sometimes) when it comes to drugs and alcohol...but I am just afraid that I am too moral to be a writer...
Writers have trauma, writers have something so wrong with them...and yes, i may be a tad eccentric, a tad obsessive...and as for the business of Johnny Garrison...well, that was a fluke of my nature. But I'm a suburban yuppie raised in a single parent home...maybe that's all I'll ever be.

As for becoming a writer...maybe a cocaine addiction will do me good...but as for Emily Sauter doing lines...it seems highly unlikely
