I couldn't, for the life of me, quiet my brain yesterday.I hadn't Nano'ed for 3 days and I was determined to get back in the groove. But I had so many thoughts (none of them related to writing) blitzing around my brain that I couldn't even sit still long enough to read over the last paragraph of my WIP to remember where I left off.
So I drank. It was either that or an expired Vicodin left over from a root canal a few years back. I chugged the Whiskey straight from the bottle until nothing mattered and everything made sense.
And it worked. 3o90 words of fairly decent quality in one hour before I passed out.
I'd better take care not to abuse this shortcut. But if you're stuck, and over 21, you might want to file this trick away in your brain as a Last Resort.
I'm off to eat something because my stomach is sour and my head is pounding. Then I'm going to sit down and write some more.
Sober this time.

This is often not a last resort, but as a way to come up with things sober-me would have never thought of! It really does work!
