I think it was Cujo he doesn't remember, and it was because he was just drunk af the whole time

Wikipedia agrees with you:

King discusses Cujo in On Writing, referring to it as a novel he "barely remembers writing at all." King wrote the book during the height of his struggle with alcohol addiction. King goes on to say he likes the book and wishes he could remember enjoying the good parts as he put them on the page.

Meh. Doesn't work. Used to have coke every day, for years and years. Never made me a better writer.

Maybe I shoulda' tried Pepsi?

I'm reminded of this story

(All credit to SK for actually quitting his habits.)

[–] [email protected] 41 points 5 months ago (4 children)

I used to be far more productive when I was on drugs. The only reason I quit is because of the police harassing me. Now I'm just a shell being addicted to online media. I'm currently waiting until I can get my drivers license back which was taken. Not because I was driving under the influence, but because they simply found some stuff in my saliva. They really want to make the world safe of drugs so now I'm depressed at home trying to pay off my debt to the government because they want to keep me safe? Well it doesn't make sense but if me being punished and repeatedly being kicked to the ground is the correct way of making the world safe I will do that! Instead of being a happy guy, driving safe on the road and doing some drugs at parties sometimes, I will embrace the nights of insomnia the government forces upon me. At least I can't drink all of the problems they caused me away, as the only money I have is now considered theirs. What a great society to live in.

Meanwhile Brandon Sanderson, it seems, calls upon the power of God

If you’ve ever been to bangor you’d know why he was always coked out of it. Most boring “city” in Maine.

I have not, but I live in Indiana and I'm sure that's the big reason Indiana has a huge meth problem: people live here.
