Well played sir!
I thank you.
Anything distracts me. My attention span is crap. Erm have to go, there is woman in a funny hat that needs to be pointed & laughed at.
I'm trying to write, but things are distracting me:
a hot air balloon outside my window
the creme eggs in my fridge
all the things I want to listen to/watch on iplayer
I started my "new" sitcom yesterday and my biggest distraction is this place. I just answer all the threads as quickly as I can and switch off the browser. But it's annoying because I use Google as a spell check/dictionary and to do other research, so it's awfully tempting to keep checking back here.
Damn you people!
Just have to get your head down and give yourself a few hours free to do it.
I got rid of one of my distractions!
Or at least changed its location from fridge to tummy.
I've been distracted from my various projects for about 3 months, I seriously haven't put pen to paper in ages and it's starting to worry me, working full time and having a more active social life doesn't help and this forum along with just passing my driving test (Yeah... I passed my driving test 
) I find little or no time to write any of the my thoughts down and continue with other projects. 
Nice one on the driving Paul. If you beat my score of only 3 minors (insert paedophile joke/paedophile here) then you deserve a biscuit. Gav will sort you out.
I find i'm a jammy git when it comes to writing. I get an idea then the words fall straight out of my head onto the page with hardly any re-writing needed, untill I put it up for critique obviously.
But I have a shit load of stuff I should be doing now but I can't be arsed. Have to read 60 pages of the Mortgage Code of Business before I go to sleep. Happy days
My Xbox 360 is very naughty, it sits above my computer winking at me.
Tempting me with its sluttish Halo3, the complete tart.

Pfff such an over rated piece of crap... Onlines ok, but that even gets old.
I actually only like Halo, couldn't care less if I played it on my toaster.
I have stopped fighting my procrastination and now work with it, or try to. I have two or three tabs on the go at once. Msn, word, internet, games etc. When I stop following in one I move to another, stuff seems to get done.
I also find having a writing partner who is expecting a scene helps to.
I write late in the evening when there is nothing else good on TV.
I think its like exercise just force yourself to go and sit at your comoputer because once you are there plonked in front of it, I then get engrossed with writing the stuff.
try and set yourself time limits and then try and force yourself to get up and go (do some writing)
deadlines always help
Call of Duty 3 on the 360. Damned thing.
Gamertag is Warb01
My eyes keep distracting me from my fingers!
