Thrillerfest 2016 (Nevermind it actually became just a post about weed)

Every year we cover an event called Thrillerfest which is probably one of the greatest things you can do for yourself as a writer...

for example we got to meet Lee Child author of The Jack Reacher series which, if you haven't read it, go fucking read it. I had not even heard of the series until the movie came out and I met him a few years ago. I was expecting a cheesy action movie, but was blown away then I read a few books and the quick pace and clever writing makes the books insanely great. I can read one in a few days depending on how much time I have. That being said I also just found out that he is a pot head. basically from this picture as I searched for authors and high in google:


Then to see if it was bullshit I found these two articles to confirm a random jpeg:

Now we have something to discuss next year.

these guys create a lot of great shit high

A lot of talented people smoke and do work and in theory that sounds great. I had a friend who used to smoke and work out and functioned better at his job high than normal. As for me



I cannot do shit while I'm high. If I get one second in front of the TV it's over. I will watch the dumbest shit on the planet and occasionally write down some gibberish that will need a forensic scientist to translate (do they do that?)

I've become a fan of edibles where people create tasty treats

anyone trying this (probably not because of my page) but either way it's a different experience:

http://www.consumeresponsibly.org/limit/

I'm assuming those sites are good but I don't fact check. that's why I focus on fantasy books. You can't tell me a place I made up is wrong- fuck you.

This is bascially me when I smoke:

so i try not to do it too often since I get fat then depressed and have to vomit to stay pretty like all of the other authors out there.








but usually what is allegedly a day of writing while the ideas flood my brain box as I'm high turns into this:

or the much less appealing version:

Either way kids... don't do drugs. 

(Unless you are productive on drugs in which case you should definitely do drugs because not only will you get more shit done, but people will think you're cool and want to hang out with you.)
