Caffeine Creativity

It's that time of year again, where I hunker down and work tirelessly on term papers and research projects. Except that this year I only have one research project on the go, so the only hunkering down I gotta do is the sort that forces me to be productive.

Luckily, I have found the source of many creative juices: Blenz!

Yes, it's a coffee shop. It's my new locale of productivity, as it is impossible for me to get anything done while at home. Why? Because when I'm at home I procrastinate, most often through the internet and cleaning. At Blenz, the free WiFi requires a new password every hour or so from the barista people, and even though I am friends with a barista person there it is enough of a hassle for me to not both with WiFi. I also cannot clean while I'm there, although I am sure my aforementioned barista friend would love me to. Not happening, sorry.

So I get stuff done. I read through articles and take notes while sipping on a maple latte macchiato. And when I feel I've done enough work, I figure out plans for Protagonize. That's right, Declan's coffee shop habits are totally based on my own. We even sit in the same spot. His coffee preference was identical to mine at the time of writing, but I have since embraced my love of dairy products in coffee. Future personal assistants take note.

Those of you who follow my writing on Protagonize, I should have a chapter in RKC up sometime this evening, and by the end of the week I want to have one other chapter posted in something else. I totally know what it is, and I have a chapter premise, but I don't know what else will happen in it. That's for me to figure out and you to find out later, 'cause mystery chapter is a surprise! I'm not gonna tell you what story it will be for, but it will be posted in one of my existing stories without a doubt. Be intrigued!

  1. Thank-you, Blenz, for keeping our Jack workin' and writin'!
    Cleanliness is over-rated anyway.
    A little dirt never killed anyone.
    A lot...yeah, a lot can :D

  2. Now I feel the need to check out The Red King Chonicals...

    As if I don't have enough to procatinate with *grin* I like that Wi-Fi idea! I wonder if there's a place near me that does that. Still if I"m not at home or work I hardly bother to log into what ever wifi is available since you have to go through that stores sight... But the requirement of a password every hour. Now that's nice.

    Maybe I can have my hubby do something like that at home *giggles*

    1. i write at a reaaaally slow pace (Elsie, case and point), so there's no need to be afraid about devoting much time to reading RKC (which you've already done). if anything, you have to be willing to wait excessive periods of time for me to update things. erp.
