Well not for me. Its been a long time since my tolerence has been that low :P Definitely don't try it if you aren't used to it. At least for block breaking purposes. Besides even if you just get so baked you sit and stare at the refrigerator for 3 hours, you should just keep your mind running along the path of your story. Then when you sober up you can write again. And if its trash throw it out and if its gold click the save button.

hehe, my biggest problem with writing in general is that most of it is done in my head and I rarely manage to get it out on paper. I tried voice recognition for a bit, but even a high end one didnt work consistently. I even played around with the idea of paying some college kid to transcribe dictation, which I still think I should pursue. Work (and some online RP) is forcing me to become a faster typist, so I may have just fixed it the hard way while I wasn't looking.

Now this solution, I like. I tried it out to a certain extent a couple of nights ago. It didn't shatter the block completely but it definitely helped to get my mind working again as far as writing. :) Thank you for the recommendation!

I really like a lot of these ideas so far...I think I'm going to keep a list of these handy! ;D

Provided you are not the kind of person for whom the words flowing to the wrong place can kill a project.
