THEY SAY GREAT WRITERS NEED A MUSE.
MARY SHELLEY HAD STORMS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ON THE SHORES OF LAKE GENEVA. EMEST HEMINGWAY ALLEGEDLY FOUND INSPIRATION IN THE GREEN FAIRY - ABSINTHE - ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER NOTABLE WRITERS WHO CLAIMED THE DRINK LOOSENED IMAGINATION AND SHARPENED PROSE.
I HAVE TRIED THIS APPROACH.
I DO NOT BECOME INSPIRED.
I DO NOT BECOME BRILLIANT.
I SIMPLY BECOME DRUNK.
SO I WRITE SANS LA FEE VERTE - WITHOUT THE GREEN FAIRY.
NO MUSE.
NO DIVINE WHISPER.
NO ROMANTIC INSPIRATION.
JUST STORIES.
STORIES ABOUT WAR, CONSEQUENCE, AND THE FRAGILE MOMENTS OF KINDNESS THAT SOMEHOW SURVIVE BETWEEN THEM.
