There\u2019s a coffeehouse not far from where I live in Oviedo. It\u2019s a chain coffeehouse, so if you know America, you know the coffeehouse I mean.<\/p>\n
When I\u2019m downtown in Orlando, there are any number of excellent independent shops I like to support, but where I live, miles from the city, one neighbor has a horse and another keeps chickens. On cold nights, I hear the chickens clucking. On colder nights, my neighbor brings the chickens in.<\/p>\n
Not much, then, in the way of coffee, except for the place by my house. That\u2019s where I write\u2014or wrote\u2014five days a week. Before the arrival of COVID-19, I dropped my daughters off at school, then arrived at my coffeehouse by 9 a.m.<\/p>\n
Kevin, the man who most days works the morning shift, would greet me. Kevin plays in a band. I\u2019ve never heard his music, and he\u2019s never read my books. It\u2019s not that kind of friendship. Which isn\u2019t to say that it\u2019s a lesser friendship. It\u2019s a friendship that doesn\u2019t require admiration for one another\u2019s art. Kevin makes my coffee. Sometimes I tip him extra. Sometimes my coffee is free, a perk that comes along with being a regular.<\/p>\n
Before the pandemic, my office was the coffeehouse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Then, most days, I get to work\u2014or got to work\u2014finding a quiet corner, facing away from the windows and the rest of the customers, firing up my laptop, securing my noise-canceling headphones over my ears, and navigating to one of three audio recordings I keep bookmarked: bathroom fan, airplane hum, summer storm. The white noise blocks out coffee orders, background conversations, and the chug and hiss of the espresso machines. Within minutes, I\u2019m in a trance, the world falls away, and I can dream my way into fiction.<\/p>\n
Most of my novel, Lake Life<\/em> (published in paperback by Simon & Schuster last week), was written at this coffeehouse between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., before I returned to my daughters\u2019 school to bring them home for the day. Now, our home is their school, and my bedroom doubles as my office.<\/p>\n
But before the pandemic, my office was the coffeehouse. There, I would drink two cups of coffee, maybe three, dark roast, with cream and a dash of sugar. I like bitter, and I\u2019ve always preferred strong coffee to lattes or cappuccinos that tend to be mostly milk.<\/p>\n
After weeks spent on a 2016 book tour across Europe, I returned to Florida and, for a month, drank straight espresso. But I never found anything in Florida approaching the strength of the ristretto shots I grew fond of in Venice and Milan and Palermo. (This, I recognize, is a pretentious-sounding sentence. In truth, I haven\u2019t traveled particularly widely, I just got lucky with my last book. And I don\u2019t drink dark, strong coffee to feel cool<\/em>. I\u2019m decidedly un<\/em>-cool. I rarely drink alcohol. I don\u2019t smoke. And, as a matter of fact, the darker the roast, the less caffeine the coffee has. I just happen to have a palate that favors bitter. I\u2019ll take dark chocolate over milk chocolate any day.)<\/p>\n
When asked why I don\u2019t prefer writing at home or in the office that 麻豆原创 provides, I have several answers. First, I\u2019m undisciplined. If I\u2019m home, there is the TV. There are walls of books. There\u2019s the bed. Any number of things are more tempting than sitting down to write for hours. Once I\u2019ve started, found my way into a story, I\u2019m good, on task\u2014but resolving to sit down and write for the day, that\u2019s the hard part. At the coffeehouse, there\u2019s no TV, and I bring no books. I don\u2019t even activate the Wi-Fi, so as not to be distracted by Twitter or Facebook\u2019s endless scroll. No, if I\u2019m at the coffeehouse, I have one job, and I do it. After all, my afternoons and evenings are occupied by teaching, so if I don\u2019t write in the mornings, I don\u2019t write.<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s the coffee. It\u2019s always a little better at the coffeehouse than the coffee I make at home. I have a coffeemaker, a French press, and an overpriced espresso machine. I order the best beans. I grind them fresh. Still, I can never match what they do there.<\/p>\n
What I miss most about my coffeehouse, though, isn\u2019t the coffee or the gift of a place to write. What I miss most, I\u2019ve discovered, is being with people. If it\u2019s true that you can be lonely at a party thrown by friends just for you, it\u2019s also true that you can feel loved surrounded by people you don\u2019t even know.<\/p>\n
At the coffeehouse, once I\u2019ve finished talking to Kevin, even after I\u2019ve plugged in my laptop and turned my back to the crowd, there\u2019s a feeling that rises from the floor and tangles up in the rafters, a security that comes from being among others, as in church, each of us struggling in a job or a marriage or just trying to finish a novel, everyone alone, but together, a body of humans, breathing as one, warm, at once, all in one place.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been more than a year since I stopped going to the coffeehouse, and I have yet to return. The coffeehouse is open. Everything, where I live, opened up almost a year ago. But I\u2019m wary. Even masked and vaccinated, it will be some time before I\u2019m comfortable writing among others, breathing the same air. And this is a loss.<\/p>\n
I miss Kevin. I miss the taste of coffee made the right way by pros who know what they\u2019re doing. Over a year in quarantine, and my home brew still pales in comparison. Though, if nothing else, I\u2019ve proven to myself that I can write anywhere. A new book is finished, and another is underway, so all is not lost.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019d trade this, the books and my newfound productivity, trade it in a second to return to a world pre-pandemic. To sit among strangers and friends, and strangers as friends, and feel safe. To not be afraid of my fellow humans.<\/p>\n
