One that caught my eye...

I sit down with the best of intentions, and then I jump over to the Internet to check out a grammar issue or research something. Next thing I know, I am distracted by every bright, shiny light... Facebook, Twitter, email, breaking publishing news. The list goes on and on.
I've learned to take my laptop to a park or any place without a Wi-Fi connection to really get focused writing time.
How do you stay focused?
Hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday!

If I can get myself started I can stay focused. Closing the internet browser helps. Also, not giving myself a time limit helps a lot. Sometimes I won't start writing until 10 o'clock at night. I tell myself not to worry about it and write as long as I need to. I can sleep when I'm done with the story. And I sleep really good then, too. :)
Ah, you know me, chronic scheduler :) I have to have a list of things I need to do. Blocked out with time allotted. Otherwise, I find the FB and other distractions too compelling to say no to. Bleh. The kids being out of school doesn't help, either. I NEED them to go back. I feel like a floundering fish out of water. :( WRITE ON!
