I tried the ol’ “writing at a coffee shop” thing this morning. It went ok, not especially well, but not horrible.

I’m not a coffee person, and not really a tea guy. I do like spiced tea (commonly called chai) so an “iced chai latte” is usually my “go to” drink at coffee shops.

The one at the shop I went to was not very good. Had a watery mouth feel, with a harsh spice taste with little to cut it. The cinnamon muffin was tasty though.

And I did get some work done. I tried to come up with a story from a writing prompt, but nothing really called to me. I did some free writing based loosely on an idea I had for a scenario in a space opera TTRPG setting I’m toying with. That got 800 words out of me, but I don’t have a plan for the story, so I’m not sure it’s going to go anywhere. Still, was a pleasant hour under noise-cancellation headphones with music from Sid Meiers’ Civilation games playing on shuffle.
