One downside in attemping to achieve the coffeehouse effect
As a facet of writing, most writers would like to write in different types of spaces. Some in their homes, their desk, coffee shops. Over the past several years, I've come to realized that this seemed to be my preferred choice of writing space.
Could it be due to the innate anxiety that if I don't do something, I feel like I came out to a coffee place for nothing? Or the fact that coffee gives you enough energy that enables people to get things done?
In any case, some of my best work seemed to come from me working out in public spaces.
To put things into perspective, I was pretty much on a five year sabbatical from everything in the modern world. I had internet at the time, I have made wonderful and heartbreaking memories from it.
It was also the equivalent of a vacation, even if I did ended up working in that time. The only times I felt like I could write was in a crowded space, that was were my best literature came from. A type of mood that I can thrive off of.
Of course, I can’t go drink coffee everyday at my favorite coffee shop, so I have to improvise elsewhere.
