Drinking coffee at night to help you stay awake while updating ten blog posts

As I always say, I have developed a habit of writing ten articles per day since five days ago. Usually, I write them at night or very early morning or in the evening when Sury goes home. I have no problem when I do it in the morning. But in the evening, especially when I get sleepy, it's a big problem. Sometimes I fall asleep and not finish my ten-post target. Coffee is my number one weapon. Sury bought me Torabika last week, along with sugar and a cute cup.

I learn to write fast and accurate from local and international journalists, by observing how they draft, collect data, and revise their work to make it sound smooth and good to read. As a blogger yourself, you have to learn from any writers, from any style of writing. Arul Chandrana, my author friend and blogging colleague, has his own way to write fast and powerfully. He writes in the morning and in the evening without any burden, as if writing is no different from talking.

He closes his monitor when he writes so he doesn't see what he types. This crazy method prevents him from pressing the delete and backspace button. Unlike me, Arul is a sleepy guy who doesn't like coffee. So at night, when he has to finish his manuscript, he often finds himself sleeping while doing the job.

So be thankful for those who drink coffee. Drink it at night and drink it again in the morning when you wake up to update ten blog posts.
