| Introduction | The Blend: The idea behind Creative Caffeine is a blend of two writing principles. First, that the more you write, the better you write,. And second, that there’s a creative alchemy that comes from free-writing first thing in the morning. The Brew: Here’s how it works. Every weekday morning, the Creative Caffeine Barista will email you a writing prompt. Something that will act like a jolt of caffeine for your writing brain. Using this prompt, you will free write for 10 minutes. Ideally, you’ll do this before you shower, get dressed, feed the dog and the kids – in other words, before your internal judge wakes up. When the 10 minutes are over, you’ll email that morning’s work to your Creative Caffeine weekly writing partners, as well as to the Barista. Your weekly writing partners will read the morning’s work and highlight the passages they like and the ideas they’d like to see developed. And you’ll do the same for them. At the end of the week, the Barista will choose the top one or two pieces and post them on the Creative Caffeine blog site. Everybody* will read them.
