I would politely disagree, as I personally think he is a successful author despite being afflicted with a mental illness. Misery and illness is not the secret to good writing. Writing is hard and fundamentally challenging, and putting in tremendous effort for possibly no reward at all do sound a tad eccentric to me.
Is writing fiction the tad crazy?

Sometimes we have weird thoughts, like "I want to steal this thing" or "I want to hurt this person because I'm so angry". Before, I'd even question my own sanity and thought I was going to be a criminal.
It's more common than we think. We can't control our thoughts and feelings and fantasies sometimes, but we can choose to act on it or not. And our choices determine us.
