Writing In Public

by Victoria Whithear
27th February 2013

I've always found writing in public difficult but tonight completed nearly 30 pages of editing in an hour and a half in a public bar. I haven't been able to work for a month. Various work and home commitments have got in the way and when I've finally found the time I've been too tired. But tonight I was that keen my being trapped on the other side of town waiting for my children wasn't even an obstacle. Strangely, when I got home I'd lost my enthusiasm again.

Are there places you can't or won't write? Does a change of location help you when you are finding work hard? Do you always write in the same location?

I have to sit at home on my own with my lap top..I'd love to go to a bar or cafe but I'm far to busy in my normal day job to do so!!

I Cannot write when my husband or son is around either, they drive me insane and don't realize I need peace!!

I have to shut myself away in my office. I would love to sit in a coffee shop or a bar and write but I just cant do it. at the weekend I might give it one more go as I do love coffee and to have that on tap would be great.
