That’s clever! But I do love tranquility and serenity. I think I work best in total silence where I can hear my character’s voices and imagine myself in the place that they are.

Clever indeed. And here I’ve been listening to Mozart. No wonder my last novel took so long!

I think if I wrote in a coffee shop I’d just spend all my time eating cake. I have been tempted to take my lap top away to a hotel for the weekend though. No one would be able to find and interupt me there.

I could probably manage to spoil myself drinking lattes all day in the coffee shop but I doubt whether I’d get any work done with the background conversation to listen in to.xxx Huge Hugs xxx

I would worry that I wasn’t buying enough coffee and would be asked to leave! Can work anywhere once I’m immersed though.

Good for you Pauline!
I’ve found most places are happy for me to nurse a large latte for a couple of hours 😉

I think it would drive me mad – the best thing about being in a coffee shop is eavesdropping on real conversations or people-watching, rather than the actual noise.

That is so fun! Although, usually when I’m writing in a coffee shop, I end up plugging headphones in to drown out the noise. 🙂

Ha ha ha, I know a few people who do that Kitty, but there’s no way I can write whilst listening to music, I end up singing/humming lol

The best thing about writing in a coffee shop is the lack of distractions. Well, unless the distraction is someone to talk to about writing, of course 😉

Ahhhhh, yeah, good point! What we tend to do at the Nano write ins Lin is have sprints. So we’ll say, right, 20 minutes, put the timer on and write. Then we have a break, time to chat etc, and go again. It seems to work really well 🙂

Interesting! I usually write in silence. Silence and space around me. I really couldn’t imagine the coffee shop scenario. Neat little app though.

I’m the same Rebecca, although during Nano I seem to cope ok with coffee shops, I guess it’s because there are other people with me writing 🙂

I can’t concentrate at all when people are chattering around me, probably because my ears are out on stalks! Must have silence from people for writing, but the singing of birds is fine. Don’t know how JK Rowling penned the Harry Potter novels in a coffee shop, although I doubt she did her edits there, too.

I’m with you there honey, but I CAN write in a coffee shop if I have to 😉
