In the 1974 article about Philip K Dick, he claims that he wrote all his books in 3-8 weeks, with the use of amphetamines (which he claims didn't actually affect him physically, only psychosomatically).

He said his wife forced him to go to a mental hospital for drug addiction but the doctors said his liver was ridding his body of the amphetamines before they affected his brain.

I respect artists who're willing to risk it all for success like this. It's really so surprise he died (relatively) young.
