I have been sitting here at this stupid computer for the last hour with The Thirteenth Step open and I swear I write about one sentence and then the next thing you know i'm clicking all over the internet. I'm looking at ghosts, dancing cats, playing spider solitaire, watching Nick eat a chocolate bar lol everything but concentrating on the one thing i'm trying to do. It's annoying.
See? Like writing this random post for instance. I could have been writing another sentence of the story...but no. ::) :P
-
It's because your brain doesn't want it to end I'm sure.
lol
Just remind yourself why you started writing it in the first place and you'll get there, I'm sure of it. :)
-
LMAO welcome to my ADD world!

Sometimes, I have to remove Internet Explorer from my quick launch thing... or just cover it up... because if it's not right there to click on, I'm not as likely to click on it. Either that, or just disconnect my freaking internet. The one good thing about dial-up was that I wasn't connected all the time... so it was easier to write when I couldn't get online. Now that I have high-speed and am on all the time, I do exactly what you do... stop in freaking mid-sentence to come here or go on YouTube or whatever. It drives me nuts, but it's like a compulsive habit.
You can't force the writing, but try removing the temptation of the internet and see if that helps. Maybe even turn off your computer and try to write some by hand. This doesn't usually work for me, but I will say, the times my computer has been broken and I've had to write by hand, I have come up with some interesting stuff... never stuff that has actually made it into a story, but interesting stuff nonetheless. Who knows.
-
thanks for the input guys lol I managed two pages which is a lot for me these days. I did force myself to write offline for a bit, but now i'm back.
-
Congratulations on the two pages. :)
-
Yay!
I'm all over the place with my writing... I haven't yet been able to find a story I've started and stick to it enough to get anywhere on it.
-
I'm having the opposite problem. I'm finally like hard core concentrating. lmao

how is that a problem?
Well, I have homework I should be working on, and the idea of leaving my house sounds like fun... lmao Yet, here I sit at the computer. lmao

Dee, I have to say as part of being the queen of fanfiction, you are not allowed to hijack my thread! As Howie said in the newest Nick's corner video...i'm watching you! lmao
on a side note, I haven't written anything else. boo me!

I was not hijacking your thread. It still totally fit the subjet matter. lol
Aw. :( *sends good writing vibes*
-
I know. It was just a warning lol and I managed to write about three sentences between then and now. Woot! :)
-
aww, now come on, I like a lot of suspense. I liked It stays with you a lot. It's all the emotional soap opera drama angst stuff where I find myself skipping entire pages cause they look boring. Not that you write like that, lol, but mostly I just need solid plot and interesting characters. I'd probably like the majority of your stuff if I'd take the time to read it.
-
LOL aww yeah I really do try to stay away from soap opera type stuff. Although I have always wanted to implant Nick's brain into Howie's head at one point. Maybe one day.
I forgot you read it Stays with You. It's funny because most of the things I have written aren't suspense, but for some reason I have been labeled as a suspense writer. I've only written a handful of them, most of my stuff is drama/humor. Go figure lol
-
I know, that's why I haven't really read any of your stuff. Because they are dramas. If I do happen to pick up something other than Romance, which I'm still entirely too picky about, I read suspense or straight humor so it makes sense that the one thing of yours I've read is that one. I've come close to reading Fishing and and 5 Backstreet Boys in search of a plot too. but I usually don't have time for more than just whatever's featured each month. Someday though, I intent to read 5bsb because I'm completely in love with all of the M's... you guys rock my world, so I'm sure it's fantastic in a random sort of way.
-
you guys gotta see this! Its such an awesome story!
