Writing at Starbucks
LOL!
I know why people write at Starbucks--sometimes you simply need a chance of scenery. Or you may need to get away from the family, the dogs, the email, the phone, or the children.
I have never gone to a Starbucks (or any other place) to write, but I have gone to the back porch or the kitchen. Do those places count?

I like to read at Starbucks. That's where I go every week when my kids are at their Wed. night Bible studies.
I love having a laptop so I can write anywhere in the house, away from kids and the action. I did try writing at Starbucks. They are not all the same! I went to a downtown location and it was a hotspot for cabbies and boy do they talk loud! Next I tried the library, which had some sort of children's program happening, so I ended up returning home in frustration.
Another time I went to a posh coffee shop to write, and found I was endlessly distracted by the other patrons. People watching is more interesting than writing.
Cheers!
Since I am not a writer (other than my own blog) I don't tote my laptop everywhere. However, my knitting is a different story. I even got a little bag to hold my on-going sock knitting so it would be easy to carry around with me. There is no place not conducive to knitting...other than the movies.
Okay, I am one who goes to coffee shops to write. When I am home I get distracted and feel like I should be doing house things. When I go to a coffee shop I am going to work. I have learned to shut out those around me unless it is one of those people who have a voice that booms. You know what I mean, their voice carries through the whole shop. You never hear the person they are talking to so it seems to be a one sided conversation.
Besides getting writing done I get to have drinks or pastries that I wouldn't get at home. Bonus.
i very much enjoy your posting kind, very charming,
don't quit and keep writing for the simple reason that it simply just good worth to follow it.
looking forward to browse much of your writing, enjoy your day!
That's funny. Maybe I should write at Starbucks more. Well, I just should write more.
I wish I could write something substantive. I seem to be only good for sound bites. =( Clyde
LOL. Sound bytes have their place . . . :-)
