Oh, god, lol. I bet there are crazy people that do that. They grab about 10 red bulls and build a pyramid of them after they down each one after the other, and then they write like mad. Lol.
Maybe I'll have a red bull drinker in my story.

This is from "No Plot? No Problem!" It might be helpful!
"Before you set off on your valiant and overcaffeinated mission, there's one thing I'll need to take from you.
I'll need to confiscate your Inner Editor.
That's right, the Inner Editor. The doubting, self-critical voice that we all inherited around puberty as an unfortunate door prize for surviving childhood. The Inner Editor is a busybody and perfectionist, happiest when it's tsk-tsking our shortcomings and weaving our past blunders into a rich tapestry of personal failure.
For reasons not entirely clear to anyone, we invite this fun-spoiling tyrant along with us on all our artistic endeavors. And from painting to music-making to writing, our endeavors have paid the price of this killjoy's presence. Thanks to the Inner Editor's merciless second-guessing, most of our artistic output ends up tentative and truncated, doomed to be abandoned at the first sign that the results are anything short of brilliant.
The fear of doing things imperfectly turns what should be fun, creative endeavors into worrisome tasks. With the Inner Editor on board, completing any extracurricular activity you haven't already mastered is like trying to ride a bicycle uphill while towing a rhinoceros in a wagon behind you.
This month, we lose the rhino.
Because this month, you'll leave your Inner Editor here with me at the fully licensed board-certified No Plot? No Problem Inner Editor Kennel--where it can spend its days carping with other Inner Editors, happily pointing out typos in the newspaper and complaining about the numerous plot holes on daytime television.
It will be very, very happy here.
And you can have the beastie back in a month's time, after you've written your book. Your Inner Editor, despite its incompatibility with rough drafts, is the perfect companion in the rewrite process. Because at that point, you will be giving it enough big-picture work to do that it won't have the time or energy to exhaust you with nitpicky comments about every comma and contraction."
There. I hope that helps some of you! Just remember, this is only the rough draft. You can always go through it later & add more/rewrite things after all of this is done, you know? Don't pressure yourself to make it perfect, just write to write! Enjoy this! It's supposed to be fun. :>
