A typical workday for me is getting up at about 5:00, 5:15 in the morning, getting some coffee or tea as quickly as possible, and then getting to my desk. and ideally, i'll start writing around 5:30, 5:45, and i'll write for three, four hours, and then i'll take a break, and read over what i write. maybe about lunchtime, i'll go exercise or get out into the day. then i'll either read over what i wrote the day before and quit work around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon and spend some time with my kids.

More From Eric Schlosser

When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. you're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. you are not real, and the coffee is not real either. your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. when you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. this is genuine tea drinking.
Real Drinking Coffee
Many writers-in-waiting spend a lot of time avoiding the work at hand. the most common way to avoid writing is by procrastination. this is the writer's greatest enemy. there is little to say about it except that once you decide to write every day, you must make yourself sit at the desk or table for the required period whether or not you are putting down words. make yourself take the time even if the hours seem fruitless. ideally, after a few days or weeks of being chained to the desk, you will submit to the story that must be told.

Is it possible to get a cup of coffee-flavored coffee anymore in this country? what happened with coffee? did i miss a meeting? they have every other flavor but coffee-flavored coffee. they have mochaccino, frappaccino, cappuccino, al pacino...coffee doesn't need a menu, it needs a cup.
Country Coffee Missing
Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.
Horse Coffee Heart
Everybody really knows what to do to have his life filled with joy. what is it? quit hating people; start loving them. quit being mad at people; start liking them. quit doing wrong; quit being filled with fear. quit thinking about yourself and go out and do something for other people. everybody knows what you have to do to be happy. but the wisdom of the test lies in the final words: "if ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."

Christianity, above all, consoles; but there are naturally happy souls who do not need consolation. consequently christianity begins by making such souls unhappy, for otherwise it would have no power over them.

He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the christian king of great britain. determined to keep open a market where men should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce...
