That’s one way to do it, I guess.

From The Midnight Disease: The Drive to Write, Writer’s Block, and the Creative Brain by Alice W. Flaherty:

Drug-induced hypergraphia [excessive, mania-induced writing] is not rare. (For instance, Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written during a six-day cocaine high during which he generated sixty thousand words.)

And he had a nosebleed for weeks, I’ll bet.

60,000 words in 6 days? And the guy didn’t even use a typewriter. Yikes. My hands hurt just reading that.

Anyhow, I am off to try to do today’s 2000!
