I used to have a few beers while writing my fiction stories.
Then I would wake up the next afternoon and read what I wrote.
Amazing! I don't do this anymore because I realized I could
actually write coherently. But it's not as much fun ~
Can anyone relate?

I agree with Harry, but it is mostly coffee.
Mostly drink beer afterwards, though.

Back in 1997, I was working for Domhan Books. They maintained an artist's colony in Northern Ireland. At that time Domhan was primarily churning out pulp romances. Writers spent their day at the local pub where the general rule was producing one chapter on a notebook computer per bottle of wine. I would rather work in a factory than manufacture genre-driven, fill-in-the-blank fiction for a deadline.

One chapter a bottle of wine?
Fred, now I know the method for the rough draft of my next novel

One chapter deserves one martini. Or maybe two.

I usually celebrate after a draft is over. Briefly. Add a beer or 6 onto the usual deal.

Starting to think Jagermeister is good for the creative process, though...

I don't drink, but my writing process has been leaking like a race horse. Don't know if it's associated to the recent venture into prolificism (???), but I was listening to a lot of Queensryche at the time (Operation: Mindcrime, and Empire)
I think that's an entirely different thread, somewhere around here.

Steady, steady as she goes. Maintain an even keel and the ship will soon right itself.

So, writing is the thing to do to make the drinking flow?

YES!
jager and Red Bull (a Jager bomb) as a great shot.
I think double doses is called a liquid Viagra...but I dunno why
At WFC I had an Irish car bomb....pint of Guiness with a shot of some stuff in it and well...

None of that stuff works for me. When I'm writing I have to have total sobriety and total solitude with absolutely no distractions, not even background music.
When it's time for a break, I generally relax with a little Django Reinhardt and (thank you LA) a drop of Captain Morgan. |

"At WFC I had an Irish car bomb....pint of Guiness with a shot of some stuff in it and well."
Was it something called 'potchy'? Can't remember the name for sure. I can remember that it was made from fermented potatoes, and that it reminded me of rocket fuel.
I knew what it was called before I tried it, but the stuff erased my memory. Took me a week to recover...
Come to think of it, perhaps I never really recovered... |

Django Reinhart? That's remarkable Dennis.
I still own one of these vinyl black disks with music on them.
One of them is Django Reinhart with "Naguine," "Scatterbrain" and much more. Pretty good guitar player. He burned his left hand, and still managed to play that well. Perhaps I should burn my left hand and see if that would help me to play guitar.
I always have music on when I write, but most of it is rather obscure, perhaps to fit my writing.
I do drink a bit when writing, but never when rewriting. |
