Hipster Runoff deservedly makes fun of a NyTimes piece called Destination: LAPTOPISTAN. The NYT article practically begs you to smirk at it with its “angry-old-man-at-young-kids-these-days” tone.
Though I had been a freelance writer for the last eight years, I had always worked at home, clad in pajamas and brewing my own fuel rather than paying $3 for someone to make pretty designs in my caffeinated foam. Whenever my wife suggested that I get out of the house, maybe take my laptop to a cafe, I shot back: “Real freelancers don’t work in coffee shops. It’s just unemployed hipsters and their unpublished novels, or screenplays, or Facebook stati.”
This made my day.
Glad to know not all writers are unpublished hipsters.
