I like the sound of this scene--people without coffee get VERY crabby.

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.

You and my hubby should talk. He, too, is very picky about his coffee brewing.

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?

Wow! It appears that everyone else is just so much better at motivating themselves to limits. I bet you'all have high daily word counts, too. So jealous!
