The Hourglass of Death: Month #1 Addendum
I have one more thing to add to the first and latest update…and its not something I’m proudest of. I have come to realize writers not only are addicted to writing, but they are addicted to caffeine. For almost 5 years I have led a caffeine-free existence and I was doing ok. I actually felt I had more energy in the beginning when I was newly “off the sauce”, but to be “on point” and rarin’ to go after an 8+ or so hour day of work when a lot of my writing and building of story and brainstorming needs to take place…that’s asking a lot of my little morning cup of decaf Nespresso. Plus, sugar rushes can only get you so far, and now that I am going low-carb, I am sad to admit I fell off the (caffeine) wagon.
And I think I am addicted to Exedrine. (Ok I know that its not possible to have a physical addiction to Exedrine per se, just the caffeine in it, but because I am a pharmacist, I’m not too worried about it.)
All in the name of art! And how do you think I am rattling off this blog at 6:20 a.m.???
Catch ya later!
