I understand the joy of coffee... And I'm absolutely not supposed to have it. I think it is cruel when doctors take away our safety blanket and tell us to be calm...

You KNOW I love this visual, Lisa! That will be me on the other side of chemo.

*lustful look at coffee cup* Come here and BE with me! It's been so long...

When you mentioned cigars, my first thought was Peter Falk playing Columbo in the tv series. Not a literary character as such, but made unforgettable by the cigar and other quirks like his rumpled raincoat and battered car.

Thanks, Lisa! I absolutely love (and relate to) the imagery of coffee as a security blanket. Your java-drinking readers will definitely relate to the feeling of getting that first cup after abstaining. Thanks for sharing!

In a stressful situation, someone hands her a cup of coffee and she curls around it as if it is her security blanket.

Love this post, Miffie! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and insight with us!

I totally understand, Denise. They certainly aren’t for every story or character. Good luck with your writing!

I’ve always admired nurses-the bulk of the work fell to them, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Using low dose psychedelics for depression has some merit, but to make parenting less stressful? That’s a tough pill to swallow! Good luck with your WIP.

It can be triggering for some people and it doesn't fit with my stories.
