Here I am, writing diligently, when I think, Hm...haven't checked my E-mail in a while. So I do. I've got a few new messages, so I figure, Well, as long as I'm already here...I might as well check my deviantART messages too. I do, but there's nothing new there. I go back to writing for a while, then remember, Oh, wait, you need to check blogger to see if anyone posted anything helpful.
And that goes on and on like that for a while.
Heck, in fact, I actually pulled myself away from writing this blog for five seconds and got caught up in that process all over again. And now it's been a draft for the last five hours when it could've already been finished.
Distractions are EVIL!
And yet, I get distracted so easily. I think it's the Internet's fault. I mean...it's my fault too for having such a short attention span, but come on! The Internet is sitting there, calling to me, reminding me I might have a new message that needs a reply. But then it wants to play innocent like it's all my fault I got off track. Psh. Freakin' interwebs...
I've actually been doing a lot of work in my notebooks lately for that exact reason. It's easier to stick to writing if I don't have a million other things only a few mouse clicks away. I get more work done that way. But...alas...now I have pages upon pages I've got to type over again. Aw well, that's at least better than not having those scenes written at all. I'll get 'em all transcribed eventually. I'm just glad I got through them without getting distrac...ooo, look at that shiny button!
What distracts you most when you're trying to write?
And what do you do to overcome it?
HAPPY WRITING, LOVELIES!
