Steve Pavlina blogs about how author Malcolm Gladwell wrote most of his recent bestseller at coffee shops
, and how Steve himself works on projects away from his usual desk to stay focused and connected to the work. I wrote all of Grow Your Band’s Audience at the Borders in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania on a string of Saturday afternoons during a period when I was still doing a lot of consulting for public radio stations. More Gigs Now is the direct result of afternoons away from my office phone at Fuel Coffeehouse in Athens.
