Some writers (like me) need to be on edge to write and sometimes life just naturally gets ya so with weddings, funerals, fiery and rainy days. But sometimes you need to get yourself an edge. Manufacture it.

–Porn, music, drugs, exercise, sleep-deprivation, medication, meditation, masturbation, punching a wall, self mutilation, punching a dummy, travel, unsafe sex, hunting, gambling, binge eating, purging, murder, torture, puzzles.

who of yall needs this “edge” and what do y’all do to set yourself thusly? (just wondering on an early sunday morning in D.C. —  was at the Mall last night and feeling quite patriotic. a bit edgy, actually,…..)
