      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.

      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?

      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).

          I finished the draft of a novel while watching a World Cup game in a bar. B/C of NaNoWriMo and hosting write-in's I'm used to public space writing. It doesn't bother me but I can see why it would bother other people. As long as people are writing there isn't a right or wrong way

          Some of us are at home on our own all day anyway. The feeling of being in company can help us relax to write. Friends set up Million Monkeys initative for exactly this reason. I understand the chats after writing sessions have been very productive too. http://millionmonkeys.org.uk/

          I will occasionally write in a coffee shop if I'm absolutely stuck in a story hole and can't escape; a significant change of scenery can help. Otherwise 100% agree.

          I work in quiet coffee shops or libraries because there's no "other room" to go to in my studio apartment next to a busy road. And it's not good to work in the same space where you sleep and relax. But yea, it would be "cheaper" to pay higher rent on a place with an office.

          I can write just about anywhere if I choose to, but it's definitely easier in my designated writing spaces, where I don't even play music.

          a bunch of people talking is my preferred white noise. too much silence and my brain distracts me/my ears start ringing (get on my adhd level lol)

          I just like the static of people moving around, I can't do music with lyrics and the silence makes me nervous.

          IMO, this applies to more than just writing. It's why an open office environment is just DEATH to any work requiring deep focus.

          I dont understand how people can write in an uncomfortable space. Like, it's not your bathroom, not your kitchen. You don't have any of your own stuff. How do you write or focus when you can't be comfortable?
