I'm trying to write a very intense scene in my story, and I'm getting the same type of anxiety I get when I am reading a story, or watching a movie, and I KNOW something really bad is about to happen.

I didn't think I could have this type of feeling with something that I had made up, and to make it worse, it's like it's fine when I'm thinking of it, but actually reading it once it's on the page is heart wrenching.

>start to write
>It's flowin, goin good for once
>Gettin ideas about the next scene
>Suddenly stop and refresh the page I had been looking at online
>Start reading random shit, or messing around with music
>Realize I need to get back to writing
>Close the tab and start getting into it again
>Write a few paragraphs
>Stop and scroll the mouse over to the browser
>Open a new tab and look up some random bullshit, or refresh the page on 4chan to see what new replies there are
>Lather, rinse, repeat

Goddamnit, how the fuck do I break out of this cycle? I've done a couple things before, including setting a timer and not leaving my work until the timer goes off.

I've also charge my laptop up and taken it somewhere where there isn't any internet.

I've also picked up an actual pen and notepad and just done it the old fashion way.

But I always fall back into this stupid habit.

How do I kick the addiction, guys?
