That's a brew I resort to when writing books AND code. ?

My best writing is likely when I'm inspired and passionate about the subject. However with my "work" writing, I sometimes get burned out with what feels like tedious "same old, same old" that needs to be freshened up a bit, so I have to play a scary game with myself to boost my motivation.

I will put off the writing of a script until the last hour, and have it fly out of my brain and through my fingertips trying to beat the real and consequential deadline.

By letting my thoughts percolate until the last moment, refusing to call it procrastination, haha, it gives me the needed adrenaline to narrow down the words I write, keeping to point, rather than rambling on.

I prefer mine with a dash of imposter syndrome, thanks.

Given an inspiring topic, I will write until someone stops me. May I have tea instead please?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Sounds like midterm papers and finals for me too.

For a period of ten years I worked with academic scientists and have to say that the above description certainly applied to some of them but not all of them. Some, more than others, seemed to be preoccupied with the ' publish or perish syndrome.'

This is how I conduct my entire life!

This applies to me writing software too ?

YES! lol

hahahahaha...me too!

I take mine extra bitter with the bile that rises every time we're told to "share out" and "dialogue" during our professional development meetings

I can relate.

I'll take mine black skip the tears.?
