Just finished writing an article, so I'm grabbing a quick coffee at Brother Baba Budan. Busy on the public holiday!

Today I thought, “I wish they still made Choco Vine. That would be the perfect drink tonight.” Well, I stopped by the grocery store & guess what I found? #chocolate #amDrinking

8. What's your favourite food and drink combo when writing?
I never eat while writing. But I do enjoy a good glass of whiskey.

How do you deal with setbacks?
Ah, an easy question. I deal with setbacks, especially the stupid ones (I missed sending a story in by deadline, for instance), in the usual writerly way. Booze. Mostly scotch.
My Easter treat, part 2: blood orange sorbet, dry gin, Campari, and a tiny bit of sweet vermouth. Festive Negroni!
In Parsippany, NJ, the Sheraton hotel bartender (Thomas) made an amazing French 75, shaking it at tableside, pouring it into a Martini glass, and floating champagne on top to finish it. It tasted amazing!!
He asked whether I wanted it on ice or not (some people drink it on ice--no one *I* know), and we had a marvelous talk about craft cocktails. He makes his own simple syrup--from raw sugar only, please. I wish we could drink there more often.

Q1 - Incorporating clothing into your writing.
I use clothing to help set the mood:
I say in my corner of the bar, dressed in black, with a dark hat pulled down over my eyes. My style said Leave me alone.
A bartender in two layered tank tops (not too tight!), to make it easy for her to flair while she works--because bottles and shakers can hang up unpredictably on clothing.

Q2: Pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin spice coffee:
a) a tasty seasonal treat that you can’t wait for
b) a seasonal treat you can take or leave
c) the devil’s work
d) other–please explain
Inserting the only flavor that makes pumpkin palatable into a beverage that doesn't need it and never asked for it.

This one's a fiction question!
Q4: Do you have an example of caffeination in fiction that you think is particularly memorable, compelling, or fun? Please share and explain.
[Non-caffeinated beverages also acceptable, if you've got a good example you want to share]

Q3: I love to write characters who caffeine, although they aren't always tea drinkers (cause I am clearly weird).
I do tend to write characters who can't live without their caffeine--sorta like Brad Pitt like characters who are eating--it reliably gives them something to do.

Q3: Hey--a writing question!
Do you write characters that caffeine the way you do or differently? Is it a character trait you feel you use to advantage when you write?

Q2: I admit it--I've never found Pumpkin spice anything remotely tempting (except actual pumpkin pie).
Pumpkin spice latte is the devil's work. I'm convinced of it.

Q1: I caffeine CONSTANTLY.
I drink a lot of tea. I have a whole cupboard of different types. I make loose tea in a pot (or Mr. Tea) if I'm motivated, but mostly I'm lazy and I use a bag.
My go-to bag is Celestial Seasonings Mountain Chai, made with stevia and an overly generous amount of cashew milk.

Q1: Let’s get to the meat of it.
Do you caffeine or not? If so, what’s your favorite mode of caffeine–if not, what’s your favorite alternative?
