My Distraction-Free Writing Program

1. Get a pen.

2. Get some paper.

3. Fine, you baby, use your computer.

4. TURN OFF THE INTERNET.

5. I SAID TURN OFF THE INTERNET.

6. Open a program. Start writing.

7. SHOOT ANYONE WHO TRIES TO STOP YOU. WARNING SHOTS ARE OKAY.

8. If silence isn’t ambient enough for you, try the following:

Lou Reed - METAL MACHINE MUSIC

George Winston - December

The Carpenters - Gold

Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue

Remember, kids:

Formatting is not writing.

Font size or type is not writing.

Research is not writing.

Writing is writing.

Good luck!
