Writer. I journal. I make notes on a graph paper pad with a felt-tipped pen. I do my most creative writing at night. With a cup of cafe au lait or green chai tea. Then I type. Into the wee hours. When I am not writing or thinking about writing, I am reading. Reading books, newspapers, magazines, and food labels. When I am not writing or reading I am watching TV. Mostly reality TV. When I am not writing, reading, or watching TV, I am having lunch out with my very lively 75-year-old mother. And then I nap.
