Breedlove on writing Godspeed
Lynn Breedlove talks about writing Godspeed. "It started out as a cathartic exercise. That's why there's a lot of what looks like gratuitous drug use in the beginning. That was just me letting it go, admitting that although I knew drugs almost killed me, there were parts that I would really miss. So it was a dear john letter, a good-bye to a bad lover letter. I get nervous that kids will look at that and think it's cool, but I can't afford to be didactic. Good writing comes from a deep need to purge something, and editing out all the parts that might be dangerous to society makes for bland prime time TV."
