Distraction and My dead Kindle

I'm pretty sure I've broken most of the rules in Writing in the Age of Distraction. I tend to leave all manner of programs running and get distracted constantly. I do however tend to leave unfinished sentences or at least placeholders. I know as soon as I return to typing I'll go back to figuring out what to put there instead. I tend to look up facts as soon as I have the chance to. I almost always try to be in the right mood. I could do everything I want to and then suddenly remember something else. I probably should follow his advice otherwise it tends to take me an hour or so to write something that only takes 10 minutes.

My kindle died a few months ago and I've been reluctant to actually send it in and pay for it to get fixed. It isn't that I didn't enjoy it greatly. I found myself reading tons of books I never really had the care to go pick up from the library or a bookstore. I also did much of the same things noted in How the E-Book Will Change the Way We Read and Write. I constantly switched between a few different books cycling back and fourth depending on how I felt. I did plenty of impulse buys just on the urge to try something different or look for something I heard about. I sampled books, subscribed to blogs and newspapers all of which had trial versions. There are a few things not mentioned in that article and maybe because it was an older kindle. You can e-mail with it for free. The network is free to use and you can access mobile versions of programs like g-mail. It is kind of annoying waiting for the little ink letters to catch up while typing them out but it was better than nothing at the time. I'm not sure if I'm will to invest money to fix it because I'm afraid it will just fall and break again but it was great while it lasted.
