I swear this has never happened to me before.
I woke up, walked and fed the dog, started writing. This is the third draft for a first novel. After about an hour I realized I had not yet made any coffee!
I stepped away, made a mug of my favourite coffee: JJ Bean Railtown. Most mornings are the other way around: I need to make something first, a caffeine key to unlock story mind vault, and re-read what I've done the day before to get everything rolling up to speed before I am caught up in the flow of my story.
When it happens like it did today, when I am writing and engaged and up from the first moment, I know I have something good here. Cannot wait to share it.
Normally I make my coffee and give it five minutes or so to cool to the perfect temperature.
The thing that has never happened before is: I made a mug, went back to the kitchen table, wrote for fifty minutes, and then remembered about the coffee on the counter!
Thankfully my set up of ambient room temperature, thick mug, and great coffee means that even at the temperature the coffee was when I remembered it, it was still good.
Almost as good as my writing.
