How the fuck do I get a way to write in google docs without any distractions, without any internet bothering me, and without all this bullshit? I want only to be with my books and nothing else. I am tired of these internet distractions.

Unplug your internet. Use a pencil and paper.

I just use word and save it in my dropbox.
The moment I put my internet back on all my work in synced to my other devices as a backup.

Use Wordgrinder. Its free, its Free Software, it runs on your terminal and it exports/imports files into common word files, html, plain text and more. No messy UI or internet required to use.

Clive Barker wrote all his books in fucking LONGHAND. Some of which are 800+ pages
>You know, it's not broken, why fix it? It's not about quantity anyway, is it? It's about quality and I've been writing, I think, quite serviceable prose longhand for 21 books now. I HAVE noticed that when people get into word processors, sometimes, the quality goes down. It's a little too easy, the writing becomes facile. You can just pop in there and change 'this' or add 'that', move things around. Handwriting things is laborious. You get it right or you don't. I like that discipline.

Also, by the way, how did you think every great writer of the 20th century and before wrote a book? They didn't have computers so they HAD to sit down and write it out.
