I feel your paid vis-a-vis distractions. I tend to get distracted by TV Tropes and/or this wiki (the latter due to my nigh-OCD need to keep abreast of what's going on) when I'm trying to do work related to my sports photography. (One reason for the TV Tropes distraction is that I've decided to find out how many tropes LTDI will have. I'm not trying to work in specific tropes, mind you; I just want to know how many are naturally present. I've currently identified about 80, not counting those that "come with the territory" in this kind of story or with TD's canon characters.)

As I've mentioned elsewhere, the prospect of being hung up on on part of the story is one of the reasons why I prefer to finish the story before I start posting it. This methodology gives me the freedom to write finished scenes as they come to me instead of trying to hammer it out chapter by chapter. Naturally, most writers make notes on what they want to happen in the later chapters, but that's not really the same. I can assure you that LTDI wouldn't be nearly as far along as it is if I felt the need to finish chapter 1 before going on to chapter 2, for example.
