Turn Off Distractions
Good, clear writing sticks to its point. Good, productive writers never get off track, either — right?
Not exactly. It’s easy to lose focus when our writing tools are also our newspapers. While writing at my computer this afternoon, I found myself wandering over to xkcd, my favorite webcomic, only to find it poking fun at distracted writers.
Don’t be afraid to turn off the Internet!
