Everyone thinks coffee gives them energy, but that’s bullshit.

At best, it just redistributed your existing energy and at worst it does nothing at all (or makes you even more sleepy).

Lately, I’ve been changing HOW I drink coffee.

When I’m bummed out and/or suffering from a hideous bout of creative block, I don’t just drink coffee, I chug it.

I’m not actually consuming more coffee, but the act of downing an entire mug in thirty seconds activates my creative brain.

It’s like sending a message to myself that says…

“ENOUGH OF THIS MAMSY PAMSY BULLSHIT. LET’S GO WRITE SOME GODDAMN SENTENCES!!!!!”

And then I ride out onto the battlefield waving a four-foot broadsword, like Mel Gibson in braveheart.

Haha, jk. I just sit there quietly and type.

Close enough.
