King actually has a book on writing. And yes, it’s about having the discipline to write everyday.
If I remember correctly, he does talk about his drug use in that book. He even talks about drinking mouthwash at one point because he was that much of an alcoholic.
Yes, and he also makes the point quite clearly that drugs don't make you super productive as a writer. If anything, they make your writing worse. But it's a good excuse to live that "drugged artist" lifestyle, telling oneself that, sadly, that's how you have to do it (while opening the next beer can).
