What is your secret potion?

This thread is to share what juice (food/drinks) do you consume to increase that creativity or to get into the state of Flow.

I drink red lemongrass to make my body nerve relax.
I plant some in my garden. Just cut the grass and boil it, drink it.

how about you?

 

[DeepWater]

Lots of different kinds of monster energy and soda mixed together.

 

[Kara_dija]

Sometimes soda, other times coffee/tea. Usually local snacks when I'm in the midst of working helps me keep going.

Terrible fiction that makes me think, " shit, even i can do better that this.. ."

 

[Hoshino]

Caffeine.

 

[kosamsel]

Adderall… And/or a nice iced coffee if I want to sleep that night ?

Absolutely this, no juice like spite juice.

I consume some coffee. Writing without a cup of coffee is a challenge.

 

[Clo]

Chronic lack of sleep.

Would not recommend.

I used to write all the time up until I dropped out of high school. Then real life took all my time. The girl I was dating at the time... Her mother was obsessed with Twilight, so I was forced to watch all the movies. That's what resparked my desire to write. I've taken a few extended breaks after that, but I was so irritated at Twilight that I decided to sit down and write my own vampire/werewolf novel, going back to core lore for each.

Then I expanded by including werebears, wererats, were everything. I stopped writing that when I killed my favorite character, though. I just couldn't anymore. But he needed to die. His death was just too *perfect*

My big 2 drinks are Dr. Pepper and Bing Beverages (https://bingbeverage.com/) energy drinks. They appear to have dropped the Raspberry line, which is good. I don't know anyone who liked that flavor.

I can recommend Crisp, Cherry, and Blackberry.

Blue berry is sort of weirdly neutral, but could make for a good mixer.

I have not tried Citrus yet.

Waiting for sales/discount codes and ordering 24-packs from the website is the most cost efficient form of getting it. As I only drink 1/day, a multi-pack order can last me for months. :) Yes, I love this stuff.

But I refuse to buy it from Amazon or Walmart.

Water

 

[TheEldritchGod]

Methylphenidate, Modafinil, washed down with an Xtrem B12 energy shot and a Jolt Cola chaser followed by a hydrocodone to mellow the buzz and finally, a meloxicam to take the edge off. As for the overwhelming feeling of existential dread, I find imposter syndrome cancels it out for just the right level of neuroticism. Shoot for Woody Allen levels of emotional constipation and you're in the ballpark.

I'm too busy making mom juice with my mammary glands to use any of the things I consume for writing.

 

[RivCA]

My day job has me spending all day in the summer heat, so water is more than enough for me. Sometimes I get fancy and grab a can of Liquid Death instead.

 

[CarburetorThompson]

I only drink water, orange juice, and the occasional sports drink (Gatorade/powerade)

 

[LeilaniOtter]

Sparkling Ice water.
And no, not water with ice, but a fizzy fruity drink called Sparkling Ice. With a wide variety of flavors, you're sure to find one you'll crave daily.

(no, I'm not affiliated with Sparkling Ice) *^^*

Yes! I second this! Staying adequately hydrated (especially during summer) will help keep you from crashing out.
