Similarities Between Writers and the Mentally Ill

You go out alone!

Panzer got tired of waiting for me today and he took the Panzermobile to the Thought Catalog blog by himself. That was definitely not a good idea.

One: he's not allowed out alone in the Panzermobile, so he's grounded;

 and

Two: what he found there is not good news for writers. In fact, it's really, really scary.

According to the post by Cody Delistraty, doctors say we can't be successful writers unless we're mentally ill! We have to be depressed and schizophrenic! The post names several authors from Stephen King to J.K. Rowling as examples.

Panzer says, "It's not that bad. They said human writers. There's nothing there about cats!"

Warning: this is a v-e-r-y l-o-n-g post.
