My usual morning routine is to make a cup of tea, write while drinking it, make a second and do the same. \u00a0Then I usually have a smoothie with fiber in it, feed the dog, get dressed, make my own breakfast, and walk the dog. \u00a0When I come back from walking the dog, if I don’t have to rush onward, I can have a 3rd cup of tea. \u00a0I just recently started writing while drinking the third cup of tea, and was delighted by the result. \u00a0So I’ve continued to do it.<\/p>\n
