3. I think, but am not sure, that Stephen King talked about it in his book on writing.

But he was so high all the time when he wrote some of his blockbusters, I' m not sure it was he that wrote about it.

So, I'm not giving you an original idea. But this is original....I always say there are 2 things that make me feel like I'm in the "zone" running and writing. Both activities make me feel almost high but I have to continually do them on a regular basis to get that feeling. Otherwise it just feels like hard work.
