Do the cons of turning ones self into a character for the benefit their writhing ( i.e. Hemingway, H.S. Thompson, Bukowski, Kerouac, Berryman, and other people whose personalities were heavily divulged and represented in their writing). Do you think the pros of more interesting and potentially successful writing ought-weigh the possible negative outcomes (drug addiction, Alcoholism, depression, insanity, an unpleasant demise)?
