I agreed 100% with the resisting writing assignment and found this true all the way through high school till now. As I have grown older I have also found it harder and harder to just be able to sit down and write. With distractions such as Facebook, eBay, and many other websites I am easily distracted before and while writing a paper. I found it interesting to that not only do young student who do not care much for English find it easy to procrastinate but so do professional writers.
After reading the Shitty First Drafts article, I found this very relevant to my writing as well. I usually wind up writing multiple copies after my first draft. I have also realized that the more and more I review and edit my paper the better grade I will receive. While that seems like it would be obvious, this whole chapter basically explained this, so obviously some people do not realize this.

I also agree with what you said. There are so many distractions in today's society that it is really hard to write something of good quality. I know for a fact I am guilty too, because I try doing homework and studying and I feel like not much gets done.
