~HAPPY WEDNESDAY~

HAPPY DAY! ~PEEKaBOO~

~OMG FACT~

The novel Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written in 3 to 6 days, allegedly on a cocaine binge.

The whole process is quite convoluted, but the author of the novel, Robert Louis Stevenson, allegedly wrote his first draft in about 3 days. Soon after finishing, Stevenson became bedridden with a hemorrhage, but was assisted by his wife’s critiques of the draft.

His wife noted that he had been writing somewhat of an allegory. Since Stevenson had not intended for this, he supposedly burned the first draft and started over from scratch! This second draft was rewritten in three to six days, allegedly with the help of cocaine!
