What do you drink or eat to perk yourself up to write? Each morning, I make a pot of strong Japanese green tea before I even think about writing. Today, however, I’m writing clean. I woke up at 5 am and did not want to risk waking my family just to boil water and steep tea. I don’t often write uncaffeinated, so the difference is noticeable.
