This is completely random, but I thought for fun we could see if there are any patterns! What is your drink of choice when writing? Include your genre and country so we can see if there is any correlation. :)

I write children's books and am in the US. I rarely start a writing or illustrating session without a cup/glass of tea. It doesn't matter if it is hot or iced, sweet or unsweet, it just needs to be tea. :)

Speech therapists also work with swallowing deficits. We typically consider ice cream a liquid since it melts during the swallowing process so you're good! ;) Wow...I'm such a nerd lol

Mary Ellen Woods (maryellen_woods) | 76 comments I write 19th-century US historical fiction. In the morning it's coffee, though I refrain from grinding the beans with a rifle butt. If I need to get creative in the evening it's a dance with the green fairy.


message 20: by Christine (new)

Christine (christineroney) | 261 comments Coffee, half-and-half, no sugar. I tend to pour a cup of coffee when I sit down to write and then get so involved in the story, the cup sits there getting cold. I keep doing this. So I guess it's more of a prop. The Oregon Coast.


message 21: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Drawe | 30 comments Almost always water - temperature doesn't matter. If I've already wandered out for the day also probably an iced green tea with no sweetener or sugar. I write urban fantasy/paranormal and am based in Las Vegas.

message 32: by Becky (new)

Becky Benishek (becky_benishek) | 166 comments I live in the States, children's book author (published) and adult fiction (simmering), and I'm a water and tea drinker. Although sometimes I let both run out and sit there stupidly getting more and more parched because I don't want to stop typing and get up and replenish.

Erica Graham (erica_graham) | 1496 comments Mod
Totals so far: coffee and tea are neck and neck! Water and soda/pop are pretty much equal seconds. Alcoholic beverages and energy drinks are last. Seems that country and genre don't have a clear pattern yet. :)

I like that you specified Coca Cola over Pepsi lol. That is an important distinction. I prefer Coke too. :)
