There's a collection of vital munchies and liquids that get me through my day -- writing or otherwise. I like to think of them as writing 'super-foods'. Each represents a particular phase on my writing day.
Coffee.
Of course, coffee. I start the morning energetic, ready to launch myself on my MS full steam ahead.
Bread.
Oh, I how I love bread. It's my mid-morning snack once the caffeine buzz wears off and I'm really kneading the heck out of my MS.
Nuts! When it's crunch time in the mid-afternoon and I need to buckle down and get my day's work done.
Cupcakes!
My sweet treat at the end of the day, once the hard work's done.
And finally... wine.
I can sit, sip, and let the day slip away.
What are your super foods? Happy Friday!
hehe deeeelightful!
ReplyDeletecoffee, definitely. :-)
ReplyDeleteI really don't eat much while I'm writing, unfortunately. Once I broke my coffee habit, it was just water from there on out.
ReplyDeleteThough I did put a hurting on a bag of pretzel M&Ms during the home stretch of my last MS... :)
In the evenings, though, beer me, baby!
Coffee (iced or hot), chocolate anything,beer in summer and wine in winter.
ReplyDeleteSake and Sapporo.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I forgot to mention:
ReplyDeleteToday's guest blogger is Rose Cooper!
Just how i write...but mine goes this way..coffee in the morning, tea late afternoon then some nuts and wine in the early evening. Love it :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of those, but prefer tea to coffee. Definitely have to have almonds too.
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah coffee. For sure.
ReplyDeleteCoffee and chocolate for me =D
ReplyDeleteGunpowder green tea with sickening amounts of brown cane sugar and citrus juice. And vinegar crisps!
ReplyDeleteHot Tamales! Sorry, must pass on the coffee.
ReplyDeleteCoffee and because I'm on a semi-diet kick now, I've been munching on these little pretzels I buy from Costco. I'm a salt addict.
ReplyDeleteCD
Sounds like the perfect recipe for a day of writing.
ReplyDeleteI start the day off with coffee, too. One bad habit is always making a full pot of coffee, then if my husband is out of town, I drink it all myself! Everyone say...wired!
Ha. I'm with you on the bread and cupcakes. :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm... coffee and cupcakes! That sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
It all sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteCoffee to get the motor running and then carbs to keep it going...
Can I start with coffee and then skip straight to the wine?
ReplyDeleteGood choices!
for me it's green tea and red tea. and energy drinks but I'm trying to quit that habit!
ReplyDeletepeople in Okinawa eat random kinds of nuts every day - not much but every day - and they are known to be world's most healthy (and long-living) society, so good choice :) However, they don't usually drink any alcohol on Okinawa hahah :)
Strong cappuccino.
ReplyDeleteCHOCOLATE.
WINE.
And BLOODY MARYS (veggie version - secret ingredients - splash of lemon and dry sherry). Sigh.
:-)
Take care

Exchange the cupcake for a piece of chocolate and you have my day, too.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Bread's definitely a winner for me too.
ReplyDeleteWhat else? Tea. Usually chamomile or honey/mango. French Fancies, other little cakes. Definitely a nice cold drink, whether it's flavoured water or Pimms and lemonade.
Guess those are my super-foods. This was such a fun post idea!
Talli,
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of bread do you like--whole wheat, white, rye? What about croissants.
Great that you eat nuts during the day for protein.
I have to have my jasmine green tea w/ lemon. I also make sure I have cinnamon raisin toast slathered w/ VCO [virgin coconut oil] because it's the best oil for you.
I am partial to wine and coffee too, and bread, I guess - for the quick "while writing" meals. I must admit a more than slight addiction to writer's little chocolate, though... And bubble gum! Always!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteScary thought but I don't drink coffee. I am however rather addicted to Chai & Earl Grey tea so I think that counts.
licorice allsorts.
ReplyDeleteAnd Baileys for love scenes....
I think I may be the only writer on the face of the earth who doesn't drink coffee. It's not that I don't like it, I just don't love it enough to take the time to pay and make for it. Although every now and again I do have this cappucino urge.
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me going is cheese, guacamole, apples, and trail mix. Yum!
No coffee here either. Diet Coke, (ohh yeah, but not before noon) and maybe some popcorn. LOVE chocolate, but really ought to limit the intake.
ReplyDeleteI go in the other direction and try to not bother with the middle stuff too much.
ReplyDeleteCoffee, nuts and ice cream!!!! Sometimes I also have pepperoni pizza...I know my hips are getting bigger! Hahaha! :-)
ReplyDeleteAny day that doesn't start with coffee is unthinkable. Later, I drink iced green tea. My new day-over reward snack is a banana with just a tiny (like quarter cup) of vanilla ice cream. Yum.
ReplyDeleteAny meals? I have a hard time eating while writing but then I make up for it later! Now to go through all your 30 commenters to see what THEY eat while writing!
ReplyDeleteCoffee, definitely! When I'm really hungry but it's not mealtime, nuts seem to do the trick. And some candy never hurts, either. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. What a great post.
ReplyDeleteFor me it's coffee, tic-tacs, sandwiches, muffins, and crisps. A nice healthy mixture!
Tea with honey and milk. I drink far too much of the stuff!
ReplyDeleteLike the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI save my wine for evenings. If I sipped the day away, I'd be a mess!
Sipping coffee all morning keeps me going.
add: berries n citrus fruits ;)
ReplyDeleteHow did you guess all of my writing super foods???
ReplyDeleteand to add to the list: candy :)
What a wonderful list! I'm on Weight Watchers. *Humph!*
ReplyDeleteYou have all the IMPORTANT food groups represented! :)
ReplyDeleteI am a coffee and cupcake gal!x
ReplyDeleteCadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate bar
ReplyDeleteLays Salt & Vinegar Chips
Diet Coke
*sigh*
Coffee and Toblerone. Repeat.
ReplyDeleteRooibosh tea, nuts and raisins, flapjack and fruit for me!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment it is teeny tiny sweet tomatoes and plums from a special tree of my neighbours. Bottled water, Frappe, wine, Greek salad and Greek yoghurt and honey. It is so hot I do not even feel like chocolate today!
ReplyDeleteYour cupcake looks tempting though ;0
all of these things make me absolutely GIDDY with creativity.
ReplyDeletethat, and crystal meth.
ah yes.
(not really.)
All of the above plus a little pate and cheese and I'm good to go!
ReplyDeleteSounds like my kind of diet.
ReplyDeleteChocolate is top of my list followed by Morning Coffee biscuits which I have recently rediscovered... they have a lovely vanilla flavour and they remind me of my childhood.
ReplyDeleteWine and coffee! That would kill me without a doubt! I just stick to a cuppa and biscuits. Snow white!
ReplyDeleteCJ xx
You nailed me super foods?! I knew we had to be sisters, we just simply have too much in common :)
ReplyDeleteDefinately wine in the morning and coffee at night. No wait, the other way around. I try to eat healthy throughout the day, but am partial to chocolate covered pretzels with peanut butter in the middle.
ReplyDeleteStephen Tremp
Coffee, Doritos, cupcakes/cake/muffins/brownies.
ReplyDeleteClearly I'm a healthy eater. ;)
Can't do the final two, so would replace with chocolate. Other than that, I'm with you!
ReplyDeletecup cakes made me smile....
ReplyDeletebut other then that i have to fully agree... you got it right....
cupcakes... *smiles*
wonderful stuff
I'm with you regarding the coffee! And I like to sweet myself up with a piece of frozen chocolate.
ReplyDeleteSupper foods, include mountain dew for staying in place energy, and jerky or star-burst for snacks, though the bread I've done a time or two- specially Hawaiian sweet rolls.
ReplyDeleteI'm rather partial to chocolate-covered espresso beans, which probably explains why I have to run at least three miles each day.
ReplyDeleteI love cupcakes! And gummy types of candy. And also Vitamin Water, which I'm sort of convinced will give me cancer...
