What Kind Of Writerly Snack Are You?

1. First thing in the morning you:

Brush the crumbs off your sheets, snuggle back under the covers and check your e-mail.

Head out for a jog or to that daybreak yoga class.

Make your bed, wipe the counters, clear your browsing history and feel great about all you've gotten done so far.

Coffee. More coffee. And ice packs for the bags under your eyes. Thank goodness going out all night is worth it.

Check all the industry blogs, your e-mail, twitter, your e-mail, Publisher's Marketplace, your e-mail.

Stretch. Pause. Breakfast in bed, perhaps? Or maybe omelets on the sunny veranda.

See if anyone's announced a deal or a new agent or engagement or birth or vacation . . .

Are still sleeping.
