Caffeinated Bloggers
I stopped consuming all caffeine a little over a month ago, mostly to help reduce general anxiety. I noticed that I have much less desire, if any at all, to write/blog now. Caffeine used to be part of my morning routine, followed by an almost compulsive desire to write. Every morning. I thought I just liked to write in the mornings but now I'm not so convinced it was the mornings. It made me wonder how many other bloggers are caffeinated when they write. Has anyone else noticed a similar correlation? Maybe bloggers are drugged. Or not. This study seems to suggest otherwise.
I know that I'm usually hopped up on coffee when I do any of my blogging.

I have a cup of coffee every morning and one after lunch. Most of my blogging is done on the weekends with bits and pieces written at other times, so for me there seems to be little correlation.

This is certainly not a scientific correlation, but I tend to write most quickly and creatively in the morning, which is also the time frame when I drink my daily 14.5oz stainless steel mug of dark roast coffee!
I am a morning person, prefering to arise early and get my day started, but I must confess a desire (need) for that first cup of joe!
I also tend to compose and reply to most emails during this same time frame. There may be more than coincidence happening here...
