Bret Explains The Crutches

An explanation of how/why Bret hurt his ankle via Bett's Blog, and how he decides its time to start a new novel:

I talked with Bret Easton Ellis who was walking on crutches. He was talking to a couple and I didn't want to intrude but then I realized this couple was boring him so I got a little pushy and asked him how he gets to the point where he can actually begin a novel. He said it's when you don't care about it as much, like when you don't give a fuck anymore and it's just for fun. He hurt his ankle because the klonopin he'd been taking for years leeches the calcium out of his bones and he tripped down a stair. I guess I'm glad I decided to stop taking Klonopin.
