I used to do this so much. I'd get incredibly wasted and feel like I was creating amazing art, I'd pass out from exhaustion (also, drugs and alcohol) incredibly excited to show my bandmates what amazing insight I'd come up with.

Then I'd see it sober and be like, "'Club me with your love truncheon'? I can't work with this. I can't ever even admit I wrote this. What the hell even is this."

I used to do similar things, except in my case it was writing longform "satire" while utterly trashed and posting it on social media.

When I'd read it in the morning, it just came across as me being a drunken asshole. I became fond of the Delete Post button.

I also only write sober now.

"Post drunk, delete sober" - said no one ever ever ever.
