Okay, by special request (seeing as the Paolini thread is going way off tangent)
Does anyone write in coffee shops?
I don't. I have tried but I find them too noisy (don't know about in the US, but the UK ones seem to be populated with either screaming babies or obnoxious children.) I've never written anything good in a coffee shop, and I get bad enough comments for staring into space at home!
I think my main reason is that I'm nebbie (translation: have a curiosity for glancing over people's shoulders to see what they're doing on the laptops.) It's bad enough on the Newcastle-Stirling train, I'm sure that others would be trying to do the same to me in a coffee shop!
Anyway, I get funny looks when I open a book in public. God knows writing a novel would encourage?
Over to you guys!
