Do any of you get high before you write?
Planting the seed - Sage - 02-08-2009
I have never gotten high so... =x
But some folks get high then write, yeah.
Planting the seed - Carter - 02-08-2009
I would recommened giving it a try, unless you have your own reasons for not, which I am sure you do. Anyway, I find it helps me focus, I get straight into the story if I'm high, where as if I am not my mind wonders and the r/ps suffer from it.
Crazy huh?

I only drink before I write. Not heavily, but enough to get a light buzz. I find it allows some of the bullshit in my brain to subside to let my thoughts escape into my fingers.
Recently we've had no beer in the house =(

I don't much like preaching, but suffice it to say I've got my reasons, and they've made me very bitter towards the idea.
For what it's worth, I use music to focus. It... clears my head. Not as good as some things, but it works okay.

I get what your saying, and I dont mean to sway someones decision. It just helps me so much I thought I'd ask others on what they thought.
Vad you get a lil typsy first? I'm afraid tha'd make me leave the computer behind, writting is farthest from my mind when im drunk. XD

Yeah I get tipsy before hand. I can't explain it except for the fact I enter a good mood and I begin to write exponentially. It's fun.
I usually don't post while I'm tipsy...I don't expect to revise. It just GETS THE THOUGHTS INTO THE COMPUTER. ><
Which because of a lot of bullshit, doesn't happen. ^.^

Nope, but I did try to do math while I was high once... But thats a whole different story lol. It was about a few pizzas that were being split 6-way.

It's something that would definately throw me off my game.

Honestly, my best writing happens while I'm lying in bed finally trying to sleep. Meaning it never ends up on paper, so to speak. I used to have my computer literally right beside the bed so that if I was laying there getting all this writing (and it flows through my head as if I was actually reading it out to someone, which is weird) I would just roll over and start typing. But that's no longer an option, and I get frustrated that I stay up so late, can't manage to get going, finally go lay down to sleep with 6 hrs to go till I have to be at work, and suddenly I get a bloom of ideas.

yes, mixed reviews.

I wouldn't doubt it.

That brief fifteen minute daze after waking up when you think you're awake and capable of coherent thought but at the same time still utterly seduced by the warmth of the bed. I've got half a notebook with lines of lyrics and paragraphs for story ideas just from waking up over the last few months. ><
Planting the seed - Jesper - 02-09-2009
Huh. Thought this thread would be something totally different.
Anyway, short answer: no.
Planting the seed - Carter - 02-09-2009
I see alot of you don't actually use the same technique as me, but you all go to the same place for inspiration. The place just between slumber and conscienciousness, with cannabis I can do it easier, but that state of mind is where all great things happen.
Anyone disagree?
Planting the seed - Jesper - 02-09-2009
I rarely think about writing unless I'm sitting down doing it. <.<
EDIT: My own writing, that is. I pretty much think about writing all the time, since it's a big part of my job. But...yeah. You know what I mean.
Planting the seed - Shun - 02-09-2009
Bud and booze made me a different person. I could rp or write rhymes a lot easier than when in any other mind-state. It's like it slowed my mind down enough for me to actuall understand what I was thinking. xD
But yeah, did that a few times. Twice on Promethazene and Codeine, somehow I ended up in heaven about to fight a kangaroo tho...
Don't do it anymore tho. Bread goes to bills so I do dat dat dat SOBER! (In the dark, most of the time in complete solitude) =P

The bottom line is, although I am in no way advocating excuses to do drugs (and I'm not going to argue about the sentiment of whether or not each individual on this site considers something a drug or not), focus and concentration are key to it, as well as the ability to shut out the world.
Planting the seed - Carter - 02-09-2009
I get so excited when I think about it, anywho, my writting has improved greatly due to it. Perhaps anyway, I mean, others may not think i've changed. Oh well, I do, and thats what's badass. =D
Ashe's pretty much got it, just follow that advice and you'll be living out some kickass storyline in no time, trust me. =D
