Writing rant: To each their own, but I genuinely don't understand how people can write in coffee shops.

If literally anything interrupts me while I'm in the middle of deep zooming? It is the greatest affront in the world. It's literally like I was working on set and then someone suddenly grabbed me and puled me three states over. It makes writing impossible.

To be blunt, most of the best writers I knew have a quiet, interruption free space. I literally put my phone in the other room. I never have any notifications on all my shit. No nothing. Just quiet so I can fall into a deep zoom space.

And when it's not catching or I get stuck? That's okay cause it's when *I* need to get away from it, I can can do that. I can check my phone, I can go fuck about on twitter. But Im the one who controls it.

So: Coffee shops are like walking into the den of non-stop interruption. I can think of nothing more harmful. But as a friend once joked, "People need to be in public otherwise they'd just masturbate all day." Which is funny, but ultimately irrelevant.

Again, to each their own. But I just genuinely recommend that writers work at the discipline of being comfortable in the quiet space thing. You may be shocked at the productivity that comes from it?

Or maybe it just comes down to the terror of being alone with our own thoughts... END RANT <3

Last add: This wasn't something natural to me. It was advised to me by someone else. I had to work at it over time, but now I couldn't imagine anything else. (it's also cheaper).
