it's pretty funny that the author takes so long to get to their point :P, given the title
Anyone want to post a tldr?
as a paid author, given the title, i was hoping for an article that touched on drinking, lallygagging, and partying --- then getting all your work done in one day at the end of the month.
The article's also evidence of the temptation to write about yourself, as I suppose that's what you know best. I have seen a lot of successful authors who inject themselves into the narrative.
For example, this successful author (David Wilcock) who failed to make a documentary, and wrote about it and turned it into a NYTimes bestseller. It's sub-par book with silly claims but he has an audience and it provided a story structure with interesting ideas and alleged facts. Eat Love Pray is another example.
And I suppose if you can write about outrageous things you do, it probably makes people all the more motivated to read you.

Great point.
Searching for sentences that include "I", "Me", etc. in your writing is an excellent exercise.

Personally, I think this is just human nature. That is, most people are fascinated (and likely, long to do so themselves) with living an "outrageous" lifestyles
