Excessively Diverting<p>This essay is an excerpt from the book "Jane Austen's Bookshelf." To sum up, Austen was inspired by many, many women writers from the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Andrew Abdalian<p>I decided to forgo writing on my computer for a few days. Instead, I’m using my decade-old iPad and a wireless keyboard. The limited multitasking has greatly improved my <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/focus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>focus</span></a> and I’ve been much more productive since. Writing by hand is even better at keeping me focused, but I’m a faster at typing than longhand, so this is a great middle ground.</p><p>I highly recommend this setup (or writing by hand) if you find yourself getting distracted.</p><p><a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmWriting</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/AmLessDistracted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmLessDistracted</span></a></p>
