Are there any famous authors that did not have some kind of drinking or drug problem?
I’ve been doing some research on famous authors like Hemingway, King, and Joyce and I see they all had some kind of addiction and I did more research and found a lot more authors who also suffered from some kind of drug or alcohol addiction and it got me to wondering who are some famous authors that didn’t have these problems.
Nicholas Sparks?…. Stephenie Meyer?…. Laurie Faria Stolarz?…. Every one else I can think of at the moment has/had problems.
