"caffein-ated"

nulla diez sine linea. "not a day without a line."

the phrase stuck in mind coming across an article published in a long-forgotten magazine a decade ago. if memory does not fail, the author was some writer-editor who was battling writer's block at the time.

case-in-point? i'm having a writer's block at the moment.

i do know my power hour. it begins at 4 in the afternoon and lasts towards the end of the day till midnight. writer's block does not set in often, but it was probably lack of sleep that triggered the "angst" of the villain. my muse could not even "flex its muscle" to fight a good battle.

but i am not leaving this day to fate. i used to write at least a line every day. i've got to do something.

a cup of coffee a day isn't bad, is it? so it's time to get caffein-ated.

not a day without a line. indeed. now, let's get back to work.
