Keep those drafts and go over them to see if you want to add something back in. Too many drafts turns some writing into vanilla when the readers will actually enjoy rocky road a lot more.

When writing, how do you deal with distractions?

I use headphones as well, and though I'm older than the target audience, I listen to the newest pop, techno and dubstep to keep the distractions out. Something about the mindless noise that doesn't require thought.

My wife is a writer as well and understands, but my older sons are still teenagers and they often act before they think.

Thanks for the reply!
