(Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it. I think it was on National Geographic.) Anyway, their theory was that the gene or brain structure that gives us a tendency toward the artistic also gives us a tendency toward addiction.

It's true for me, at least. I have to stay away from video games or you won't see me for months on end.

Or, what percentage of derelicts would trade their addiction for a legacy?

I've known lots of actors and artistic types, and many of them take that alleged connection between art and addiction as a license. But if you look at the people at the top in Hollywood, or any other artistic endeavor, you'll find that most of them work for a living. The ones that overindulge end up with less of a legacy than they would have had if they controlled their appetites.

I'm inclined to think it's the artistic genius. That's not to say addiction always follows artistic genius. Dedicating your life to art can result in several situations that might cause one to seek mood altering addiction. Feeling ignored, misunderstood, being poverty stricken, exploring the hidden places of your mind, etc.

But there's something too cliched about the tormented artist/genius forced to find solace in a bottle. Lots of people who aren't creative geniuses find life a lot easier to bear when they're drunk. Too bad plumbers, teachers and stockbrokers don't have the excuse of being tormented geniuses.

I suppose the more creative the more anguish. So it stands to reason, manuscript rejections = mental stability. We should say to ourselves, "this is not a rejection, it's a confirmation that I haven't slipped off the deep end yet!" And celebrate our sanity.
