I’m one of those writers that absolutely detest writing.

No other profession lets you hide away from the world and binge eat gross food in the name of creating art haha. That’s probably why I became a writer in the first place. The writing snacks are now followed by lots of Zantac and Pepto Bismol. When I write, I have the disgusting diet of a thirteen-year old boy but I’m getting older, which means I have an eighty-year old man stomach. If it’s a really shitty day, I’ll chase it all down with a liter of Diet Coke, black coffee, and Haagen-Dazs. Kettle Corn and dark chocolate are my all-time favorites. Honest answer? I love having an excuse to stay home in my pajamas and eat copious amounts of junk food.
