I've found that since I decided to actually write for the purposes of getting published, writing has become a lot less fun and getting distracted is *much* easier.
What keeps me going is the realized that a writer writes, period. So no matter how distracted I get, no matter how much I cringe at the words coming from my fingers, I just have to keep going.
Janet, thank you for posting this link. I especially loved the one entitled, Suck it! I think my problem is that I get bogged down in the whole idea that I suck at writing, but watching this clip helps to lessen my stress level. My biggest road block is the suck factor, quickly chased by doubt. Thanks again.

My credo is--"If at first you don't succeed, suck harder."
Diseases...that's funny.
