When I was young and wanted to be a writer, I admired Hemingway particularly because of his drinking habits. So I'd sit down with a typewriter and a bottle of wine and somehow never wrote much at all but managed to become quite an alcoholic. So perhaps that was my goal from the start. (I had to give it up after six years.) Marvelous letters.
