Coffee Shop Vibes

“Some writers like to work in other places like coffee shops, but I can’t – I’d end up people-watching. And if I were at a bookstore, I’d be reading. Sometimes I have some music on, but usually I like it quiet.” -Julie Kagawa

I haven’t had a good writing session at a coffee shop in a long time. My question for you is, when you write, do you prefer to be alone, or do you think you do better in public spaces like coffee shops or libraries? I like it all, but getting work done in a coffee shop feels good for me. But it only feels good if I get some work done. If I don’t feel like I was productive, I get buyer’s remorse. Well, let me think about that. Maybe productive is not the right idea. It’s not always about writing thousands of words. Sometimes it’s making a valuable connection with a fellow writer or artist, or just gathering a collection of thoughts, or even getting a Pinterest mood board started.

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
