coffee, sweet coffee

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2000.08.28

Well, today it all fell apart. I managed to go both days on the weekend without a drop of coffee, but today a headache started building at around 11:00 AM, and it kept getting stronger. Since I was up to my eyeballs in work upon which the others were depending, I couldn't just split, so I went out on the street and got myself some tablets like the Tylenol #1 we get back home, and an Espresso, which I followed with a Soya flat white. That fixed me right up. So much for four days of coffee-free progress.

I'm glad that espresso has less caffeine than drip-coffee, but I've clearly been drinking too much.

The way you write science fiction is: you sit down at your writing machine and you open your mind to the first thought that comes through. My first thought was always a cigarette.
