I write every day.
Sure, I do.
Only sometimes the proportions between the time I actually write, and the time I nominally write but in reality blog, hang around on Facebook or surf for pictures of hot shoes, are a little bit askew.
I try, I really do, but the 'net calls out to me in siren tones: "Coooome, just a liiiittle click. Just one pointless visit to a blog to check out what Mary-Kate Olsen wore the other day." And, yes, such is the depth of my depravity - I actually look at pictures of people famous for being famous. All so I won't have to do what I love best.
I've heard other writers complain about the same thing, though, so I'm probably not the only one. I recently got a tip that's working fairly well for me - pick an album, and while it's playing you must write the entire time. No surfing, no coffee making, no... OK, if you absolutely have to go, you might be excused.
But seriously, any tips are more than welcome. How does one keep from getting distracted if one is a weak vessel who is easily led into temptation?
