1. but why did she always have to work in hotel/motel rooms? like, if she was home, did she get up and go across the street to a motel to work every day?

2. i love that they took care to mention that these ice baths were PUBLIC. not private.

I've heard of people writing in hotel rooms. Most of the time I have to get out of my house to write, meaning my porch or back yard. When I started out I was one of those people who worked in coffee shops. In the past few years I've taken trips outside of LA to AirB&Bs in the desert and other places, for 3 or 4 nights specifically to plow through something. There's that psychological thing for me of moving to a different space altogether that says "Now it's time to work."
