Koenji Cafe is Only For Writers Working on a Deadline ...

   Are you a writer working towards a hard deadline but having trouble getting work done? Then the Manuscript Writing Cafe is your new best friend. Located in Koenji and run by a team of writers, the cafe is solely dedicated to other writers working on deadline. But beware, once you enter they will not let you leave until your work is done.

  

There are several rules that patrons must obey when entering the Manuscript Writing Cafe. First, you must notify staff of the number of words you need to write, and by when. Every hour, the manager will come and check in on you. You can choose what tone of voice you would like to have the check-ins: “mild, normal or hard.”

  

Rates begin at 150 yen for the first 30 min and are 300 yen for every hour. If you’re there for 6 hours, that would be 1800 yen. However, if you haven’t finished the work you declared upon entering, the staff will not let you pay. And if you can’t pay, you can’t leave. Unless of course you’d like to become a criminal. 

  

The no-frills cafe has basics like charging stations, WiFi and beverages, allowing you to focus and get your work done.

  

  Only in Japan?

 

Update ...

Home from the house on the hill, where I started my new book from good friend, Valerie. 

It's a thick book, 650 pages, so I asked if I would get through it? She said she did and liked it. We usually like the same books.

 I am only 100+ pages in, but I am fascinated!

 

 

Valerie is reading American Dirt, that I gave her.

She asked me if it will get easier, I said I loved it. She wanted to know if there was a happy ending, I said, yes, but it's hard reading to get there.
