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

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).

What about listening to jazz or a film score while writing?

Used to. Not anymore.

Whereas even when I'm writing at home I'll sometimes put on cafe ambience like this: https://cafe.ambient-mixer.com/a-rainy-cafe I find a curtain of low-decibel life stimulating. If I feel too abstracted from humanity, I don't write people as well.

Lmao. My ADHD so rampant I need the outside chaos to distract it so I can focus on writing. If I’m home alone, it’s like a ton of super balls bouncing around.

Coffee Shops do provide a (theoretically) safe space with (free) wi-fi and generally a warm atmosphere. If your home life is wracked by stress, ambient trauma, loud roommates/kids, or some other factor, a coffee shop makes sense as an alternative.

But also, if your home life is an unsafe space to write, that's probably something worth working on in and of itself - writing in a coffee shop is a workaround, but it isn't a replacement for safety at home.

It’s a head space thing for me. When I’m home I sometimes feel too comfortable to really get into it. Headphones help with distraction when I’m out.

For me, I find being around people helps me brainstorm. So I take notes more than anything. But when the laptop cracks open I gotta be alone with no one around.
