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

I think the single most important thing about writing is the ability to zoom in and focus to the point that that all that literally exists in the world is just your sequence of thought.

It's not just how you work out the complex ideas themselves, but it's how you are able to be productive and keep punching through the idea in its entirety.

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.

Replying to @FilmCritHULK
That is super interesting. Did you have to experiment to discover that that was what worked for you or did it always feel natural?

I wasn't natural. It was advised to me. I had to work at it over time, but now I couldn't imagine anything else.
