    Yeah. I'm bored so I want to start a post... not sure what it could be about though... Hmmm. I know! This is the perfect time for me to ask this question!

    Does anyone have tips on how to stay concentrated on stuff? I'm trying to write a book(spare-time just because I want to) but I can't seem to stick to it. I have a very short attention span. Like, very very very short. So any tips?

    General advice for writting books will be apreciated too (because you guys have probably more experience than me).

    I can't offer book writing advice. I too have a short attention span so what I do is have to set aside a time for certain activities. At work, that's not a problem. But when I need to study for a quiz for the class I'm taking, I set aside two evenings (Wed. & Thurs.) to study. For me, it's all about setting aside time for specific activities.

    If this doesn't work for you, you may have ADHD and they have medication for that. See your doctor.

    ADHD? Yeah, my friends say that I have it. They just say that it's not enough to be a problem. I mean I study for my test(I have one tomorrow :D) and all that it's just my stick-to-it-iveness that's having problem in the long term.

    I just realized that that sentence made no sense what's so ever. But I think you can get what I mean right?

    Anyways, thanks!

    Good idea. Or maybe make it a goal to write one short story (or a certain number of words or pages) a day.

    Yeah ish. I've probably done more but the last thing I wrote was the introduction to a fanfiction story I'm gonna but on Mibba. 'Course, now I've got a few other projects I want to do so I'm not sure which one I'll be concentrating on... Hmmmmm. Decisions. Decisions. HAhaha!! ^.^
