I'm thinking a lot about writing, but not so much with the actual stringing-one-word-after-another thing. I got a lot of great feedback from my last critique group meeting, nearly two weeks ago, and then promptly did nothing about it. I'm also thinking about a couple other projects, one that I'll probably do this year for NaNoWriMo, and another for... later. The latter is a massive project, as big or bigger in scope than Unification, but an idea that I've been thinking about for years. Sorta.

Coffee - for improved mental focus and wakefulness/ alertness. Waffles- mostly for the sugar in the syrup (you are a syrup user, right?)- for energy and because the brain runs on glucose/sugar and increases in sugar intake lead to increases in sugar uptake by the brain. The brain needs fuel for creativity. You need focus to deal with the ADDishnes you mentioned earlier. Coffee gives you the focus. Waffles with syrup give you the fuel. The wafflehouse gives you a boring distraction free environment. Keep up the good work. Jeff,

The brain needs fuel for creativity.
