Raymond E Feist talks about addiction
In a fascinating article, Raymond E Feist talks at length about habitual and obsessive behaviour, smoking … and how all this has a large bearing on writing.
This is an excerpt from the post:
“And I tend to habituation. Most particularly to fine wine, watching football [gridiron for those of you Across the Pond or DownUnder], enduring really old cheesy sword-and-sandal flicks, enjoying as much time as possible with really beautiful young women, and gambling. I don’t include spending time with my kids, because that’s not a habit, but a privilege. They grow up way too fast and I know they’re going to be out on their own all too soon. ” Raymond E Feist
