Prepare to Write!!

How do I begin this blog? Let's see...Hello, my name is Lydia, and I am a snacker. There! I said it! I admit it!

Of all the things a writer prepares before writing; paper, pen, computer, music, etc., I found that snacking plays an important role for me.Snack of choice? Peanuts! There is just something about the crunch that gets my creative mind going. Weird? I don't know, but it can be any flavor: Hot, sweet, or my favorite, lemon & salt flavor.

So, as I prepared to write the other day, I began to wonder... Am I the only one? Do you have something in particular you snack on before writing? Some kind of ritual like a certain pen, type of paper, kind of music, or in your pajamas?

What about you Readers? How do you prepare yourself to read a book? I tend to snuggle up in a warm blanket, crank up the AC (hot months only), and grab a cup of coffee. I've even heard of someone reading in the bathtub, which sounds pretty great.

Don't worry though, you can tell me. It will be just between you and me. (wink)
