I can sympathsize, being an aspiring writer myself.
One thing you can do is set aside time to do nothing but write. Nothing but Nothing should interfere, unless it's life-threatenning. Remove distractions, including food- though a drink might be handy.
At first, don't worry that what you write might look like nonsense: You can clean it up later.
If music helps, turn some on- though not loudly.
I've found a particular state of mind to be helpful in studying, or writing. I guess it would qualify as a minor form of self-hypnosis. I couldn't tell you how I do it either.
I hope my ramblings help!

I would suggest some type of meditation or guided visualization -
Jack Canfield (the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul books) has a GREAT set of them, but I don't know if they are still available.
If you can listen to part of the CD before you buy it - if you can't stand the person's voice, you're never going to be able to stand the guided visualization!!!
Good Luck

I recommend taking yoga. Enroll in a class. It increases your ability to focus. ANy kind of meditation will work but i think yoga is the best because it's readily available in most communities and it's body-focused. Getting connected to yourself is the key to being able to overcome distractions. Take yoga now. Or aikido if you don't like yoga.

Well don't write if u just want it.. Write if u have something to say. And something that is not cliche. and say it not in a cliche way.
Meditation is a best way to concentrate.

Break a task down into smaller parts and keep telling yourself to finish this small task right now and then the next one and the next one and so on.

Quit going online or turn off your computer.
