Writing with noise and distraction seems to work for me

Today was the big craft fair. I knew I would be there all day and that while I would have my laptop and would want to get work done, the key would be if I could get work done.

Being disconnected from the net, I expected that.

Not having ready access to power at the table, well I wasn’t really expecting that, but I could manage.

After the table was ready and the doors opened, I opened up this machine, set up for maximum battery efficiency, and …

I wrote.

A lot.

I pushed a long way into Chapter 3, fleshed out a big chunk of a feature I want to write for the Vancouver Observer, and wrote the first draft of an article on the continued allure of print media.

I took breaks only when my mental well ran dry. Then … was right back at it again.

Frankly I don’t understand it. I shouldn’t have been able to really concentrate or focus, but I did.

I think I’m going to be working in coffee places more from now on…
