To not get distracted

Stephen King says writing a story is like being married. When you're writing a story and you think of another idea, you can't run off chasing it; you have to stick with the idea that you have. I heard that the other day. Writers and company is a radio station that I listen to a lot. She had an interview with Philip Roth a couple of months back and he said if he had it to do all over again, he would not be a writer. Because you have to come up with the ideas yourself and no one else can do it. That makes it hard. The Writer's Block that I got for my birthday last time said that some writers have taken to writing only one paragraph per page in order to give it breathing room.
