Marginalia and Madness: A Writing Quiz

Twelve questions on writing, authors, and literature!

In truth, this is a thinly-veiled pretense to share some interesting stories about writing. Some questions are hard, and perhaps intentionally so, because even the wrong answers lead to stories that are fun and informative.

Warning: Should you choose to read through all answers, you waive your right to complain that it's too long.

I consider this a fun family-friendly game, but still it is about writing, which means drugs, suicide and insanity will come up repeatedly.

(Edit: The title was updated, and errors have been corrected in response to reviewer comments)

Enjoy!
