“French vanilla.”
“What?”
“I don’t know, french vanilla.”
“Like a latte? or do you want a coffee with a flavor shot? I need a little more than just ‘french vanilla’.”
“A latte, sure, yeah thats sounds good! I don’t really drink coffee.”
“Vanilla latte, anything else?”
“Oh, does that have milk in it?”
“Yes.. “
“Oh, yeah, sorry, I can’t have milk.”
“A latte is espresso and milk, it’s been that way since like, Italy.”
GET OUT!
I work as a barista. I’m obsessed with dialogue. I came to this fine town of Minneapolis without a clue. I tried writing before I arrived but couldn’t accomplish anything more than complaining and venting on paper. I needed to change my focus into something fun, and interesting.
Being a barista is the best job I ever had. Its been the best exposure to life, society, art, culture and subcultures. But, there is a real-ness to life that sometimes seems too good to be true, or too terrible to comprehend. That, right there, has been my obsession; how to capture these moments, and how to share them. It wasn’t until I became close friends with my oldest friend in the cities, @kommienezuspadt that I began playing around with screenwriting. This has been the most enjoyable writing outlet for me. I picked it up quick and started writing a few movies. Lately, my focus is writing some short films, finding the right crew, and getting my art form out there.
Outside of writing, I’m out exploring, and researching my ideas. Anything can be made into a scene, any scenario can be made into a dialogue, a certain song can intensify a mood. I collect feelings, interactions, and experiences. Come follow me along on my journey, hopefully we will get there, to the silver screen.
Congratulations on your first post!
Thank you so much :D
Welcome to Steemit!, if you like my content, follow me :-)
Awesome, thank you! I'll check you out :) Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks:-)!
I'll have a cafe macchiato with a club soda on the side ... and if you have any chocolate covered espresso beans, can I have a couple of them on the side? That's my perfect cup.
Welcome to Steemit.
P.S. Check out @smailer https://steemit.com/@smailer His espresso based designs are excellent.
you make me shy.
Thank you for kind words about my modest person.
Well deserved.
I love making macchiatos! Not a lot of people order them where I work, but when they do, it's like opening up a little happiness in my heart. I'm a sucker for compliments about my drinks. We don't have the chocolate covered espresso beans unfortunately, but, perhaps its a good thing since they are so bloody addicting! Great choice!
Digging your writing style! Upvoted and followed. Looking forward to your future content, cheers!
Hey, thank you so much! Stay tuned for more. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Welcome to Steemit!
There is always someone somewhere to make your day a little more interesting ;)
Welcome to Steemit I am sure you will love it here ,just enjoy
Thank you for you kind words! I'm already amazed by this place. What a welcoming community!
Also, having been a barista for some years of my life, I so completely identify with the dialogue you posted above! :P It's so scary, it's true... that's a whole rich field of untapped dramatic potential. I'm working on an idea for a sitcom pilot, which is called "Cafe", and it's essentially an amalgam of every dysfunctional cafe and restaurant I've ever worked at. Maybe we can collab, I've got two other writers with me so far. :)
Hello fellow (former) barista! I have to say, the things I see, the people I encounter, you really can't make this stuff up! I have, also, had ideas about a TV show myself and I am super flattered about wanting to collaborate, especially just starting out here on steemit!I would love to hear more about what your ideas. Once I get more going on my page, we can see how our styles compliment each other. Happy writings!
I wanted to chat with you today, but you seemed preoccupied. Still looking forward to your next post. ;) Please don't fall into the perfectionist trap as I have, more than once, and just let it flow, together we will iterate our own unique form of greatness, one post at a time, perfection can wait. My friend Maya called it "Sputtering Fragments" ... I do encourage it. :) Cheers, b
Welcome to steemit!!
Thank you! And, thank you for checking me out!

Hello! I always say, never have any expectations, and you can never be disappointed. Life is more enjoyable that way ;) Thank you for your kind words, I will try my best to make you all proud!
Welcome to Steemit! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. :-)
Thank you for checking out my post! I'm just blown away how nice and welcoming everyone is!
Hi Natalie,
I'm new to the site and following the suggestion to begin by posting replies in order to get a feel for how the system works. I see that you're from Minneapolis and a barista to boot, and for that reason you're my first contact. I currently live in Maple Grove (27 years here), which is just down the road from you a spell, but had lived many years in the Uptown-Lakes area in Minneapolis. My 26 year old son is currently living on Lagoon in that same area, and from his living room window he can look out and see an apartment building I had occupied some 40 or so years ago. Also, my wife loves to hang out at the local Cub grocery Dunn Brothers where she has made friends with many of the baristas that work there. So it only made sense to say hey to a neighbor.
Good luck with your writing career.
Thank you for stopping by to say hello! The uptown area is great! I live close by as well. I love the big-town, small-town vibe Minneapolis has, and the awesome pockets of communities it has to offer -especially at a local coffee shop ;)
Nice to meet you! Also new here... Great intro, hope to read more soon 🤓
Thank for checking me out! Also, welcome! Hope you are loving it :)
