Writer's Block

It seems I can't write anything readable unless I'm drinking. This is problematic for me because I don't especially like drinking anymore.

So, how do I resolve this conundrum? I've tried substituting the booze with hash, but that didn't seem to be very successful. Cocaine was highly overrated in my experience, and I don't have any interest in heroin. I would burn some opium if I could find some, but where would I look?

I've tried just writing, no editing, etc...but that doesn't last long. Short bursts of intense creativity are the best I can muster, the rest of the time is spent trying to find words to put on the page. I know it's not supposed to matter, but seriously, have you ever tried writing that way?

Anyway, next few days I'm going to try revising and expanding some old stuff I have, maybe that will help.
