A caffeinated glimpse into my writing process
Just as the man in the video has different things that motivate him to write, I too have something that helps my brain work at its finest. I sit at my computer eating a chocolate bar, trying my very best to keep focused on the screen. All I can think about is how great the chocolate tastes until I realize it is simply not enough caffeine. I am in desperate need of a hazelnut iced coffee. I jump into my black Nissan Altima and head to Starbucks. As I am excitedly driving and listening to the radio, thoughts regarding my paper start to pop into my head. I always keep a pen and notepad handy to jot down my ideas. Once I get my ice coffee in hand and take a sip, I think to myself "this is truly what I need to get my paper going on the right track." The coffee is now finished and as I am hyped up on caffeine, I begin to write my paper. My fingers hit the keyboard as fast as possible and I can not contain all the energy in my body. I do majority of my writing while I'm caffeinated, and once the rush is over, I settle down and begin to edit my paper. I tend to do a ton of revising since my first draft is usually all over the place. That's what caffeine will do to you. But to me, it is a deliciously addicting drug that motivates me to start writing.
