Here we go again with a theme for the weekly post that I don’t
have much of anything to say, not because I dislike the theme but because it
doesn’t apply to me.
“Perfect writing snacks.”
Umm, yeah, I never snack when I’m writing.
If I’m writing, I’m writing and my hands are in constant
motion, typing.
I’m not a snack-y person really. I have an apple in mid-morning,
a string cheese if I’m feeling extra hungry in between meals and need protein
and either a banana or an apple between dinner and bedtime. I might have a cup
of tea on occasion and that I may actually drink while I’m sitting here at the
keyboard, but is tea considered a ‘snack’?
On snacks in general, I used to love M&M’s, maybe when
reading, but on three occasions over the years I’ve had one go down the wrong way and nearly
asphyxiated, which since I actually came within a few seconds of brain death
years ago and required heroic Heimlich maneuvers from the friend I was out with
(that occasion was a piece of toast, not candy)….I have considerable anxiety on the
topic. So M&M’s are off my list of edibles. Sorry, little guys!

| Author's piece of coal from the sunken ship |
VS Note: 107 years ago this week, the Titanic hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank with a terrible loss of life. I was always fascinated by the sinking and wrote my scifi action adventure novel WRECK OF THE NEBULA DREAM loosely based on the events, but set in the far future on an interstellar cruise liner. There is a romance but the book is much less steamy than my normal stories. I later wrote a sequel about two of the supporting characters in response to numerous reader requests. STAR SURVIVOR is written in my steamier style.
