I have written many a story while taking strong opiate pain-killers. The problem was not getting the words onto the paper. In fact, the writing was smooth and easy. No, the problem was that I really thought everything I wrote while under the influence was great. Only later did I learn the truth. Opiates and writing don’t mix well.

A pack of unfiltered camels, a six pack of JOLT COLA, and 3 of my sister’s diet pills helped me finish two papers and pass calculus in the spring semester of my freshman year. I also helped two dozen people move out of their rooms for the summer break.

Best enhancer for me turned out to be high doses of B12, B9 and B6 first thing in the morning. Improves my blood pressure, makes it easier for me to sleep at night, and improves focus during the day.

I use some of the “smart drinks” (notably the lo-carb Monsters) but haven’t found them notably effective with fiction writing, at least…they barely count as “smart drinks,” I’m sure, so much as being essentially Mountain Dew or canned coffee with amino acid and vitamin traces. My third and fourth eyes are coming along nicely.

Perhaps one should stick to the tried and true methods of the American greats, cigarettes and scotch.

I once foolishly ate three Special Brownies shortly after each other and about an hour later I could not stop having wonderful, awesome ideas once every thirty seconds or so –unfortunately my attention span had dropped to less then fifteen….
