“Coffee, Darkness, and Drawing”

Daily writing prompt
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

My most ideal day from beginning to end:

Wake up. Hot coffee. Walk my cat. Come back inside and sit in darkness for ten minutes—eyes closed, no noise. Then open my eyes and start working on an illustration in silence. Lights on, but low. Still a little dark outside. Just draw.

When the sun comes out, eat breakfast. Then go back to drawing for a bit more.

After that, take a break and switch into Blender. I want to get good at it so I can 3D model my characters and designs—maybe even build scenes for future illustrations.

At night, I watch a movie or a show. And I’m old school, so it’s usually on physical discs.

That’s my ideal day: quiet, focused, creative, and real.

Question: What’s one part of your “ideal day” you could actually do tomorrow—even for 20 minutes?
