A Writer's Aid

"As soon as coffee is in your stomach, there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move...similes arise, the paper is covered. Coffee is your ally and writing ceases to be a struggle."

—Honoré de Balzac (1799-1859)


I've always known this to be true, but Balzac states it so eloquently.

I was in Starbucks the other day and saw their red holiday cup Christmas tree ornaments, and I thought, I'll bet Suzanne has one of those! ;-)
