Hiya, big-bang writers!

I know I'm not the only one out there who, um . . . who works really well under pressure. (That's why I'm staring at the deadline with three scenes left to write, right?)

Well, for those of us who may need a little more brain fuel in these last few days before the rough-draft deadline, I present:

Espresso brownies. (If

Thanks so much for these! I may not end up making the energy foods (too busy writing, lol) but I think I'll definitely try out that cupcake recipe for my birthday! <333

(Also, happy birthday!)

[chiralove]

Thanks! I'll definitely let you know! :)

I hope you're aware that spending all this time baking is PRIME procrastinating behavior (says the girl who will probably clean her desk like 5 more times before settling down to work on her fic).

I kid, I kid. Those espresso brownies sound DIVINE. Those...may be happening tomorrow.

HAHA. Yes; yes, it is. But I'm at 19,300 words so I can procrastinate just a bit. ;)

The espresso brownies are happening tomorrow for me, mostly because they sound good. I'm still also working through a pan of chai cookie bars.

I may be snagging some of my sister's chai mate for some energy, cause just caffeine doesn't do shit for me anymore.
Damn, so much work to do...Is anyone else pretty much completely clueless about whether they're gonna make it?

"Evil" Chocolate Cake

[yeomanrand]

1 coffee mug
4 tablespoons of flour
4 tablespoons of sugar
2 tablespoons of baking cocoa (preferably good stuff, not Hershey's)
1 egg
3 tablespoons of milk
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
3 tablespoons of chocolate chips (optional)
1 small splash of vanilla

Oil or spray the inside of the mug. Mix the flour, sugar, and cocoa. Add the egg and mix well. Add the milk and oil and mix well. Mix in the chocolate chips and vanilla. Microwave for three minutes, and you have 1-2 servings of hot chocolate cake. (The cake will rise past the sides of the cup.)

(Got this recipe from here. It's awesome.)

So we've reached wordcount but we are SO not finished...
