Read! Read outside your genre. Read outside your comfort zone. Read everything.
If you write, you write, no distractions! Best way to do that is to actually have a second computer, an older machine, that is not(!!!) connected to the internet, positioned somewhere you feel comfortable, with a view that is monotonous but still allows for sky to be seen. (I live in a smallish town, but high up, so I have lots of roofs and a bit of sky.) Daylight, I found is important as well. Tell any and everyone to piss off when you write.
