Writers Resources - The Truth about Writing and DrugsDrugs are not part of a writers resources.Don't be duped into thinking that any drug including alcohol will "enhance" your ability to write. Writers and artist of every stripe have fallen victim to this misconception for hundreds if not thousands of years. Drug abuse is the single largest cause of disability and death amongst artist.
