I prefer the rattier coffee shops myself. I still would not be able to write there, though. My attention span is terrible.

I can’t write at Starbucks. I take my computer with me when I feel like sitting. I usually jam my headphones in my ears and listen to music on YouTube. Usually Kate Bush. I don’t even know why.

I like the coffee shops with ratty couches and chairs. The ones with lamps and tables that look like they survived a war zone. I like to people watch too so sitting in a Starbucks and trying to be serious is just too difficult for me.

I’ve noticed that depending on where the coffee shop is and where I’m sitting in a coffee shop can make a big difference — lots of noise and activity = a lot of distraction

Ugh. The only thing more annoying than Kenny G is a person who is inspired by Kenny G.

Writing in any public place is tough… it exponentially raises the number of things I can watch instead of writing. People inside the coffee shop who are odd… people walking past who are odd… the ceiling fan… the coffee making person. I’m easily distracted enough without providing people-watching opportunity.

Even that is dubious.

I should go write next to the coffee at my local gas station.
