RE: An artist must be starving, and other social myths:)
My second thought after I decided to be a writer (as a pre-teen) was "I guess I'll have to become an alcoholic." At the time, I believed all of the misconceptions you listed above. Fortunately, I'm now older and wiser and know that they aren't (always) true.
Ha-ha, really laughed about your comment:) Imagined you thinking this deep thought:)
I like how Shane Black mentions that it made a difference when he stopped consuming alcohol. Let's hope that more pre-teens would not think that alcohol dependency is the route for creative thought!
