So all I really need to do to finish Nano is get insanely high.
I went out today just to get out of the house. I took my notebook with me in case I ended up writing something.
I stopped by the winebar in the shopping center near my house and ordered a glass of white zinfandel, because it was actually cheaper than a coffee and I figured if I was going to get a drink anyway I might as well give my money to a local business instead of adding to Starbucks' Take Over The World Fund.
Half a glass later I was two pages into an Actual For-Real Fanfic for the first time in what feels like ages. Granted it's none of the fics I'm supposed to be working on, but I wrote a thing, huzzah.
So, apparently, what I needed to do the whole time I was blocked and frustrated was get drunk buzzed. How charmingly simple.
Let's not talk about how a glass of white zinfandel is enough to get me buzzed, because yes I am that much of a lightweight.
Also a couple of the regulars there jokingly heckled me for drinking zin instead of "real" wine. They seemed suitably impressed when I told them I'd been drinking spicy Spanish reds since I was sixteen. ;) They also seemed jokingly surprised that I wasn't sixteen myself, but whatever, that happens a lot.
So what about you, flist? Do you find it easier to write when drunk/stoned/high/under the influence of your intoxicant of choice? Or does that make things harder?
ANYWAY. Should be a little thing for tf_rare_pairing later tonight or tomorrow, depending on how long it takes me to write a conclusion and edit the drunk out of it. Also I just think I should notify you that the best thing about rolling chairs is that you can use them to dance and pretend you are in a music video. And you probably think this is yet more of me being boozy but no, I do this when I'm cold sober, I just have to wait until no one else is at home.
