Take three shots of finlandia

thanks for typing this out, it gave me summin

this is true. Hemmingway woke up early and wrote before his day began. He wasn't some drunken degenerate like Kerouac or Bukowski

This.

Video games ruin your creative ability because they demand a completely different kind of cognitive process and basically rot your neural pathways, making them retarded for anything that isn't immediately pavlovian.

do you have any proof of this? i want to believe you and it sounds good on a surface level. i have a friend that spends all of his free time playing video games and want to get him to quit

There are still a few good men left on Veeky Forums.

The proof is literally anyone who plays video games (other than Dark Souls).

9/10.

>shots of vodka

Noo what are you doing?! You don't understand alcohol at all. Typical American. I guess Hemingway knew what he was doing because he spent so much time in Europe.

You sit down to write, not get drunk, you drink when you are doing the activity, same as you drink when you do everything else. You put two fingers of vodka into a rocks glass and sip away, refilling as you need, as you write over several hours. Or just drink some tins.

It sounds like you can not drink worth a shit and I can tell you haven't been drinking that long. Is it five years even?

You drink to loosen up and remove that voice that makes you second guess and delete every other sentence, to relax. It's coming across like you think alcohol is a magic potion that will make you write better.

>it's literal shit, not even stream of consciousness, and it eventually turns into babbling nonsense near the end

now edit it.

This sort of thing is impossible for me to keep up for more than an hour. The willpower needed to not drink too much kills the mood, and it gets harder and harder to resist drinking the more I drink.

I don't even believe people can actually drink like you say. Or maybe I'm just an alcoholic.
