  1. My novel didn't get shortlisted for publication.

    So tired of banging my head against this brick wall.

  3. My aperitif today is a Bee’s Knees, made with Mike’s hot honey. It adds a little bit of a kick to this lemon and gin drink.

  7. Today I thought, “I wish they still made Choco Vine. That would be the perfect drink tonight.” Well, I stopped by the grocery store & guess what I found? #chocolate #amDrinking

    8. What's your favourite food and drink combo when writing?

    I never eat while writing. But I do enjoy a good glass of whiskey.

    Q1 - Incorporating clothing into your writing.

    I use clothing to help set the mood:
    I say in my corner of the bar, dressed in black, with a dark hat pulled down over my eyes. My style said Leave me alone.

    A bartender in two layered tank tops (not too tight!), to make it easy for her to flair while she works--because bottles and shakers can hang up unpredictably on clothing.

  12. This one's a fiction question!
    Q4: Do you have an example of caffeination in fiction that you think is particularly memorable, compelling, or fun? Please share and explain.
    [Non-caffeinated beverages also acceptable, if you've got a good example you want to share]

  13. Q3: I love to write characters who caffeine, although they aren't always tea drinkers (cause I am clearly weird).

    I do tend to write characters who can't live without their caffeine--sorta like Brad Pitt like characters who are eating--it reliably gives them something to do.

  14. Q3: Hey--a writing question!
    Do you write characters that caffeine the way you do or differently? Is it a character trait you feel you use to advantage when you write?

  16. Q2: I admit it--I've never found Pumpkin spice anything remotely tempting (except actual pumpkin pie).
    Pumpkin spice latte is the devil's work. I'm convinced of it.

    #Writephant #WritingCommunity #amwriting #WritersofMastodon #amdrinking #teadrinkersunite

  17. Q2: Pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin spice coffee:

    a) a tasty seasonal treat that you can’t wait for
    b) a seasonal treat you can take or leave
    c) the devil’s work
    d) other–please explain

  18. Q1: I caffeine CONSTANTLY.
    I drink a lot of tea. I have a whole cupboard of different types. I make loose tea in a pot (or Mr. Tea) if I'm motivated, but mostly I'm lazy and I use a bag.
    My go-to bag is Celestial Seasonings Mountain Chai, made with stevia and an overly generous amount of cashew milk.

  19. Howdy you’all! It is time for #Writephant - our weekly get together to talk about something completely random.

    Today’s theme: Hot Beverages: coffee, tea, & the infamous pumpkin spice latte.

    But first, as we do every week, tell us how you’all are doing this Monday? What is bringing you joy today? And don’t forget your hastags.

    It was 2 credits pass/fail at the hotel school. Once a week, just before practice. And it included wine!

  23. Q4: I stuck this one here so I could rail at my pet peeve (sorry, not sorry).

    I hate hate hate when characters in movies (or books) order good single malt Scotch whiskey by brand name ON THE ROCKS. It's worse than James Bond ordering a watered-down martini.

    Specifically, one from an adventure series called Strike Back, where Damien Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) ordered Glen Morangie on the rocks EVERY EPISODE.

  24. Q4: Favorite/least favorite use of alcohol or a bar/tavern/drinking establishment in someone else’s work (book, TV, move, etc) and why you liked/disliked it.

    As someone who just cannot drink the water that I should, I envy you, and I salute you (with a club soda. with lime. close as I get to water.). You don't just rock, you're apparently setting a good example.

    Go you!

  27. Q3: I wrote a story (as yet unsold) featuring a flair bartender who did a bit of magic on the side. I really enjoyed researching flair bartending (beyonding watching the movie Cocktail).

    I've also got a published story that includes a Jeopardy category called "Lusty Libations." I really need to post the whole Jeopardy board on my website. #goals

  28. Q3: Have you written anything where alcohol or a bar/tavern/drinking establishment played a major part in the story?

  30. Q2: For some reason, my main character in my WIP is a wine drinker.

    I *did* take a wines class in college. <shrug>

    One of my joyous memories was when I first got involved in fandom--and they taught me about hard cider. I'd always felt left out when "the guys" were drinking beer, but cider made me an equal.

    Nothing wrong with tea. And there are so many varieties.

    I found a great black tea online that includes peppermint bits to make iced tea out of. The candy bits melt during the brewing process.

  33. Q2: What’s your main character’s favorite libation?

    Does what *you* drink influence your characters or vice versa?

    #Writephant #WritingCommunity #amwriting #WritersOfMastodon #amdrinking

  34. Q1: I'm (of course) going to split my answer--really, is anyone surprised?

    Nothing, but nothing, can beat a complex aged single malt Scotch, straight up, sipped slowly. Favs include my current snifter inhabitant, Highland Park, Glen Dronach, Balvenie, and Glen Morangie.

    When I've feeling fun, I like gin cocktails. My simple favorite is a French 75--if I haven't got open champagne around, I opt for an Aviation.

  35. #Writephant Q1: What’s your favorite(s) libation?

    Feel free to sort by time of day/day of the week/your mood because there’s so much to like.

    Teetotalers, feel free to tell us about non-alcoholic joy–your favorite lemonade, etc.

  36. Howdy y’all! Welcome to #Writephant

    Reply to any or all of the questions in the next hour to join today’s chat.

    We begin, as always, by asking: How are you doing this Monday? What is bringing you joy today?

  37. So far my impression of being 51 years old is there’s a lot more discussion of the practical benefits of gay sex over het-sex, way more jokes that end with the phrase “size queen” and a shocking amount of Canadian rye in Fanta being knocked over and wasted.
    Also less surgeries, but it’s only been 45 minutes or so, so I don’t wanna get cocky.
