Hot take: writing in a coffee shop actually made my word count worse
I kept hearing people say go to a cafe if you're stuck on a scene. So last Tuesday I sat at a local spot with my laptop and ordered a $5 latte. Instead of writing 500 words like I hoped, I spent the whole time people watching and checking my phone. Ended up with like 200 words that I deleted later. Has anyone else found that background noise just kills their focus for fiction writing?

$5 for a latte?! Dude where do you live, that's wild. I'd be too stressed about the cost to even open my document.

Honestly @the_elliot, I used to think $5 was fine, but you got me rethinking everything.

Damn, $5 is cheap where I'm from. I'm paying almost $7 for a basic latte now. It's crazy how much coffee prices have shot up. Makes you really think about each sip.
