The Ink Shot archive
From 7 May 2012 until 7 December 2021 The Ink Shot was the blog of Marcus Baumgart, an itinerant café writer, designer of buildings, animal-lover and day-by-day battling creative. This blog celebrates the practice of writing in cafés, writing fiction and non-fiction and being creative in general.
Marcus struggles to motivate without the happy white noise of lively conversation and hissing espresso machines.
More cafe writing in the blogosphere
Check out this post I just found on café writing here. Nice to hear someone discussing the rituals and etiquette of writing in cafés, even if it has taken me over a year to find this particular blog entry! I also hadn't heard of David Mamet's book 'Writing in Restaurants'. Guess I am behind the times: it was first published in 1987. Oh well! Better late than never. Sounds like it doesn't have much to say about the act of writing in restaurants, at any rate: nevertheless, I will check it out.
