I am sitting in my usual table at the Board Game Cafe, drinking my first mug of coffee for the day and writing.
Coffee appears to be the favored drink of writers, and I don't think it's just because of the caffeine (although I'll admit it's part of the draw). Coffee has romance -- whether this is because of the hard-boiled detective detective swilling black-as-sin cups, the dark thick cup of coffee with friends in a Turkish coffeehouse, the Parisian espresso or the cup of joe in a dingy city diner.
Coffee drinkers share an image that suits them well as writers. Coffee drinkers are facing their early mornings and lack of sleep with a bracing beverage that bolsters their courage to face the world. Armed with a computer and a cup of coffee, the writer can slay dragons.
I've finished my first cup of coffee. Time to write on my latest work, sitting in the Board Game Cafe on a cloudy, rainy early morning. The street sign reads "N. Main", and the traffic sign says "Walk", and at the moment, full of coffee, I think anything's possible.
Happy Coffee Day!
