When I battle or write topicals, I have different states of mind. Especially pic battling. Just curious if there are some more different or unique customs out there, pre-writing rituals.
If there is already a thread like this in the past, my bad.

My different states of minds are based on levels of sobriety.
I just write, sometimes it comes out naturally and I whip up a verse in 10-15 minutes, or sometimes it's forced just to post on time and it takes an hour or 2.
What's weird to me is how people react to it. Some of the shit I thought was most forced / borderline stupid, a lot of people liked. Go figure.
