Journal Writing in a Contest

I entered the Follow the Leader Journaling contest at writing.com again. This edition of the contest started on September 11 and end on October 1. Each day one of the contestants writes a lead entry and the rest of the contestants respond, in some way, to the entry. The responding entry must have the same title as the lead entry.

My leading entry titled "Coffee and Chocolate", occurred on September 12. My writing.com blog is Snow Melt. This is only the third day of the contest, but it has already inspired some very interesting posts in the contestants' blogs.

I picked coffee and chocolate as my subject because those are my favorite foods. These two items top the list of the things I like to eat and drink. Coffee and chocolate has played an important part of my life since I was a child. My parents and my grandfather (my mother's father) were coffee drinkers. Therefore, it is only natural that I drink coffee.

I can drink coffee all day and sleep at night. I am also one of those people who likes strong coffee. All though, most of the time I drink my coffee black, I do like specialty coffees. I am especially fond of the coffee that has chocolate in it. In fact, a few weeks ago I had a new coffee and chocolate treat, it was called "chocolate covered coffee beans", they were heavenly.
