I write so much faster on paper. For some reason, I'm just able to think better, write down words, and keep moving on, as opposed to on the computer, where I spend large amounts of time staring blankly, obsessively typing, deleting, and retyping one sentence, and playing minesweeper. So, lol, half of it is getting rid of the distractions.
It's a pain to type it all up though, since I can barely understand my handwriting. I'm looking at my notebook right now, and "legs" looks like "keys". And I've had to resort to tracing out words and relying on muscle memory to tell me what I'd written.
Oh YEAH. I am constantly distracted on the computer. I'm not so sure that's a bad thing; I don't have ADD but I write a little, read email, write more, etc.
As long as no one tries to TALK to me. ARGH! Cannot... concentrate. :D
Ah, so you're actually productive. XD Usually when I'm on the computer, I write on an average of a minute per hour. There are a few exceptions where I can bang out 500 words at a time without thinking about it, but that's rare. Although conversely, I tend to do better when I'm chatting on AIM. Not when I'm talking (or being talked at) in RL though. When I'm on the phone, I can do nothing else. LOL I fail at multitasking.

With Google Docs, I can be at any computer and don't have to worry about having the file on a stupid stick. (Flash drive.)
