When I saw 12 Great Writers and Their Favorite Snacks I thought I'd talk about snacks today.
I need coffee when I write. I make a pot in the morning and another in the afternoon. Getting up to refill my mug is as much a part of my writing process as hitting "save" at the end of the day.
My afternoon snack is usually a handful of almonds.
But if I need something sweet, this is my go to snack. The flavor is great and lasts FOREVER.
What about you? Do you need snacks when you sit down to read, write, or watch TV? What are you favorite snacks??

Interesting article. Funny how Truman Capote was pretty much all liquid.
I never got in the habit of eating while I write. Like Capote, though, I have to have some kind of beverage nearby. Except I can't imagine drinking alcohol and writing. I tried it once and while the words really seemed to flow, the next day I couldn't understand what I wrote. ;o)
Snacking and watching TV... If it's in the house and it's edible, I've snacked on it.
I need chocolate when I write. I'm a big fan of almonds too. Cover an almond with chocolate and I'm in heaven. [I love the coffee pic, did you do that?]
B.E. - I wonder how many people have the same problem with drinking and writing. I imagine a lot.
Clarice -- I'm not that talented, but it's how it makes me feel.
My Keurig died! I don't know what to do now. :(
I used to snack like crazy on dried mangoes, but I got kind of tired of them after the 20th jumobo Costco bag, and now I don't eat much at all while I'm writing. I do drink coffee and tea, though. If I reach for my mug and it's empty, it totally throws me out of the zone.
