THIS. For me, since I type prose up straight-away, it has made me write my screenplays far wordier than I do normally, since I tend to be far more judicious with my words when I actually have to write each one out by hand.
Part of the problem has come from the move. I used to live about three minutes from Starbucks, which was quiet and hardly ever crowded. Now I'm fifteen minutes away, which is a much bigger commitment to get over there. The places that are close to me now are fast food places, so sometimes music, always loud and crowded. :(
What's also bad is that computer = distractions. Writing longhand away from home was something I started primarily so I would dick around online or play games. Paper, pen, that's it. So I HAD to write. I've had my laptop with me all day but have only managed a page because I keep getting online. X(
