writing scripts + coffee = inspiration?

There is something in it. Some people find writing alone too damn depressing and the life and noise of a cafe is comforting. I have a student who books herself into a lobby of boutique hotel one day a week with her laptop, orders coffee and has a marathon writing session.

The other great proponent of writing in cafes is Natalie Goldberg. Her seminal writing book Writing Down the Bones isn't geared specifically to screenwriters but her basic techniques can be imported over. Basically -practice a lot.
