Good snacks for the writer......

I was reading an excellent article about hackers and what kind of food they find nutritionally fortifying.Pop Tarts and Pizza Hut...supreme style.Interesting.....I thought why not write about what I like when I am writing.First off,"the mood defines the food".....when I am a dark area of my writing I do not crave sugar of any kind to eat.When I am researching dessert snacks are my favorite.I refer to the dark areas,(you writers out there know what I am talking about)that is when in a heavy suspense or crime story the writer starts to physically feel the pain the character is going through.Not a great time for a gourmet cupcake.I find that no matter my mood though ginger ale is always the perfect mix.I start writing well after noon time and sometimes into the middle of the night so breakfast foods are not on my list.My favorites are anything gourmet for researching,and while writing I enjoy potato skins,any variety of cheeses,and any variety of nachos and dips.Caffeine is my friend from a.m till 4:00.Anymore after 4:00 finds me in nightmares running from pimps and ducking police sharpshooters.....Ginger ale and kit kats are always in the larder......just a good balanced diet.

Happy Snacking,

Charley Taylor
