If you can read this article uninterrupted, I salute you.
I know I haven’t posted here in a little bit — Okay, okay, I see the cobwebs too! But I had a question: When you first sit down to write a paper, what things distract you most? What goes through your head when you first begin to write? For me, I have this thought, “Is this really due tomorrow?” and then I usually get distracted by something completely random. Regardless of what the distraction is, I will find it fascinating. In fact, I would wager to say the vast majority of interesting things I find get shoved under my nose right when I’m trying to do homework. In particular, English homework fits this rule best. I guess I should be thankful. To my English teachers; thank you all for helping me find interesting things….I think. To everyone else; please tell me what distracts you. I’m not going to say why I want to know if you don’t already know, nevertheless you can trust I’m going to do something interesting with the responses I get, assuming I get any.
The internet as a whole is the greatest distraction man has ever created. Twitter just happens to condense it down into individually wrapped bite-size distractions.
