Damn right it is. I also enjoy writing outside at night, despite the fucking mosquitoes who only leave me alone when I smoke and seem to think my blood is literal ambrosia reeee.

Those are all pages with writing on them, though "filled out" is a strong phrase. I added more paper and removed everything that isn't notes a few days ago, so here's a picture. The three on top from left to write are
A) Assorted musings/aborted pieces
B) Rough draft for my 1st chapter (obsolete)
C) Actual rough draft for my 1st chapter (ready for revision)
What I'm holding in my hand is character notes, setting details, and a slush pile related to the story I'm working on. I'd say I'm at about a 50/50 ratio with notes and actual writing.

Why not write by hand? Set yourself up a separate workspace to remove yourself from distraction and give yourself a goal. Set up a "work then reward" system. This is going to sound a little pathetic, but when I first started out I worked with this system
>hey I want to jerk off
>alright, no problem
>BUT
>you're going to write 1000 words beforehand
Cut to 6 months later and I write almost every single day, and the reward of having a good writing habit is enough. The thousand words became two thousand, the two thousand words became 3 pages, the 3 pages became 10, etc. I got to a point where I didn't even think about masturbating, it was just the cue I used get myself to start writing. It's actually a pretty good way to wean yourself off of porn too, if that's something you desire. I've lost the thread here a little, but my point is pick up a pack of paper and some pens, separate yourself from your phone and computer, and give yourself a goal and a reward for when you reach it. This >>13177142 is a solid idea as well, especially for when you decide to type up your first drafts and if you still struggle with distraction.

You can do it anon, I believe in you. Even though my writing is mediocre at best, the sense of accomplishment and the glee I get from telling the story I want to tell is immeasurable. Dont put it off, start right now, today. Be the writer you always wanted to be.
