“… Mr. Butler had already had, he said, as much coffee as
was good for him. Phryne, who had never had as much coffee as was good for her,
poured another cup and sipped luxuriously.” — Kerry Greenwood, Queen of the Flowers
This sums up my
love affair with coffee, brought to a ghastly nadir during a recent power outage,
when I checked flashlight batteries instead of filling the thermos with hot
coffee.
Lesson learned.
The energy, the impetus, the awakening of coffee! It’s
what gets you writing, even by flashlight. Well, me, anyway.
What galvanizes
you? What propels and spurs you to the keyboard or the pen and paper? What have
you found is the best trigger to write, or to read that next book, or . . . ?

for another sip*
