Add to it that I’m also working on a new WIP. So my writing brain is needing to be fed. And as I was sitting with my bowl of chocolate eggs I began to think that as writers, we have our own diets that go beyond food even. So for my next few posts (1st Thursday of each month) I’m going to be talking about The Diet of a Writer: What Feeds Us.
Seeing as my brain was on chocolate, I thought I’d start there. When I write I struggle to not only maintain healthy meals for my family but healthy snacking habits. For me, my go-to snacks are chocolate, coffee, and cookies. Copious amounts of cookies. All types of cookies. I am an equal-opportunity cookie eater. I have recently tried to become healthier, however, as I do believe my body and brain work better when I attempt some modicum of health. So apples, sugar-snap peas, and hummus have made their appearance as well. I’m smiling. Really I amJ
What about you? What do you like to snack on when writing? Do you lean toward healthier treats or the sweet ones? I’d love to hear your favorite choice!
