/lit/, I'm not a drinker. 95% of alcohol tastes terrible to me and the remaining 5% makes me dizzy after one drink.

Recently however – in the past year or so at least – I've lost the ability to write. It's not that I lack inspiration mind you, I have plenty to go around. The problem is, every time I sit down to write I get scared that what I write is going to be horrible. This prejudgement is so strong that I'll usually quit before ever opening a word processor or else spend an hour sitting there motionless, sperging internally over little details that bother me.

On a scale from 1-10, how shitty an idea would it be to just get a bottle of liquor and take a shot to get over my inhibitions any time they keep me from writing?

You need to chain smoke while drinking. There needs to be a way of balancing out the inebriation.

This is the kind of correct advice everyone else is too scared to give you

desu this. you'll focus better with nicotine and it'll counteract how distracted or tired you could feel after lots of drinking

Nothing wrong with it. Dont' listen to that shithat who posts that quote, I write sober 80% of the time and tipsy 20%. Alcohol is great.
Then again I also just like the taste and I only have 1-2. alcohol tastes amazing you just got to find the stuff you like.
not drunk now just didn't sleep well, nightmares.
