hallucinogens work well I heard but they wont magically make you a good writer

coffee, but thats just because I'm tired all the damn time and can't function without it.

If you grant me that anything which is good is a derivative of God, and by extension a substance provided by and of God, and so God in some way is a substance of His own in some way, I would say God.

>Ketamine
Higher doses. Not really. You might be creative but overall the dissociation might completely ruin your initial train of thought. You will end up lying on your bed listening to music entering a sub-lucid day dreaming state. Lower doses will inspire a small amount of creativity but concentrating might prove difficult.
>Dextromethorphan
Same reason as above but with more motor skill impairment.
>Cannabis
This will likely make you creative. Knowing the strain will be important. Look for a sativa strain and take small incremental amounts so you can stay at the task on hand and not end up masturbating then listening to that fucking pink floyd album again for the 1000th time.
>Amphetamines
Your motivation and focus will improve. Not necessarily creativity.

Beyond coffee I can't take anything or else I'll feel like the thing I created wasn't genuine.

don't understand

Why do you identify "you" as to your mindset when you are sober? Are you not you when you are high?

I've never been high and I never will.

God you are intolerable.

Have you been drunk before?

Is it more likely that I'm tired all the time because I'm just naturally tired all the time, or is it possible that I'm tired all the time because of caffeine withdrawal?

Memes.
Not even joking

I love you, brother.

a couple times. its not my thing ok

pleasure seekers begone

Amphetamines are wonderful but I don't use them anymore.

Hallucinogens are fun but should be done very occasionally if you're not micro-dosing.

Alcohol is shit.

Caffeine is very hit or miss.

To be honest, exercise and nutrition work for me more consistently than anything else.

I hate to admit it, but pot really does help three-dimensionalize abstract concepts in your mind which then can make it easier to create large and interesting metaphoric and analogous connections, if you struggle with that.

This is me, and
also brought up a great one. Endorphins really get the mind going. After all, it is a muscle. So exercise and taking care of your body will aslo help your mental acuity and clarity.

So what's the deal with microdosing? Why do people do that? What is it like? I heard it's almost like some sort of amphetamine focus without the jitters. Is that accurate?

Energy drinks, coffee, and a moderate amount of alcohol all help me 'pep up' to write faster without fatigue, but they don't inspire creativity.

I have no experience with microdosing, hence declining to comment on it.

Not only does exercise help you feel good, but it actually trains your brain to build up bigger glycogen stores in the brain to fuel it under hard use. This pretty much has the effect of making you sharper and able to focus for longer.

Yes but I hated it, and wouldn't ever thinking of writing drunk

it's a popular new branch of pseudoscience based on anecdotal evidence

it's not impossible that it works, but not enough research has been done on it to say it does

How do people write while stoned? I become more creative for sure but always end up hyperfocusing on a single sentence or idea and nothing gets written.

Fresh air

The latter! After quitting coffee I've experienced much more energy throughout the day. I still get very tired around 3pm (wake up at 6am) and have to eat some food to keep myself going, but otherwise it's good.

If you're going to continue drinking coffee, at least make sure to drink a lot of water throughout the day.

Also, exercising multiple times a week helps in the long run.

Didn't even know I wanted a copy of Vineland until I saw that cover.

Then why are you calling it psuedoscience, faggot? How about exploratory research?

the people making unproven claims before exploratory studies have been done, while couching those claims in the language of science, are engaging in pseudoscience.

why do drug users get so offended when anyone tells them that their drugs aren't magic cures?

You're smoking too much. Try a smaller amount.

I just write as much shit as possible and go back when I'm sober to proofread.

mushrooms are great for poetry.
otherwise i'd stay sober while writing.

music

Abstinence, prayer and long walks in God's great nature made me create again.

I work a much less profane craft than literature though.

it adds a little color yep

>AM

I need MAOIs to remain functional.

I know you are but what am i
