while writing, butt-in-chair
COFFEE
dried coconut cubes (when I'm feeling fancy)
Cheetos (when I'm so not)
during little writing breaks to the kitchen*
dried cherries
guacamole + guac transfer device (aka chip/pita/cracker)
spoonfuls of ice cream
after I've typed THE END
doughnuts
adult beverages (mostly wine)
*not at the same time. Although. . . .
For famous writers it is/was:
espresso (Proust)
lime popsicles (Joyce Maynard)
cold toast and stale coffee (John Steinbeck)
and more.
See their snacks, illustrated, here
What about you: what do you munch while you punch the keys?

I'm not TOO bad with the food. But watch out Diet Dr. Pepper. That's my main staple when I'm writing. :D
A big glass of vinegar...now that sounds tasty.
Writing does lend itself well to beverages, right? Although that vinegar thing--I do not get it. At ALL. :)
OMG I want a donut now.
I do a lot of writing at Panera, so my snack is usually a turkey artichoke panini.
HAHA! I love the pics except some of those writing snacks do NOT look appetizing.
Twizzlers. Coffee. Not usually at the same time. Those are my writing vices. And at the end a beer. Or a glass of wine. :)
There's a surprising amount of meat in that illustration, right? Near-raw beef pho? Oysters and meat for breakfast? Canned meat?
Who knew writers were such carnivores.
