Thank you, Richard!

thank you!

Thank you so much, Tania! Looking forward to reading over the weekend :)

Ahh, I just read your pitch on your substack, sounds brilliant (intruiged by this phone booth!) - will definitely need to read - some similar themes to my book two incidentally. Looking forward to it!

looking, not looing
I am not looing
What a terrible sounding verb creation
Although, I also sort of like it
Excuse me, I need to loo
The cattle are looing
Hmmm

Thank you, Barbara :)
Hope life is treating you well and the words are flowing, flowing

Thanks, Sarah, yes, I think dipping is the perfect verb! I've decided to stick to Twitter & Instagram. Hopefully that'll do the job :)

Thanks for sharing, Lance - I have 550 followers & basically 0 engagement on Threads. I know it's supposed to be a slower thing and it takes time to build actual connections on SM, but I don't feel it's a good use of effort. Sticking to Twitter, I think & Instagram which I'm liking :)

Thanks, Sarah, for sharing your experience - I agree with the view that this is all too scattergun-like. Think I've decided to stick with Twitter &now use Instagram too which I'm liking much more than I expected (somehow feels more positive place than other spaces)

Yes, that's my feeling too - but wonder if that 'at some point' is what many of us are thinking - which is actually prolonging & exacerbating the split - to the extent we're all going to be indefinitely toggling between one and the other. Who knows! Thanks for sharing your experience :)

Good luck, Anna - I think breaks from SM are a good idea. Whenever I step away, I'm often much more focused on creative projects. Cuts down on the outside noise.
I wish you well :)

out to build up my energy levels to tackle the task.

Wonder if anyone else feels like this?

Seems like one of those things that's not necessarily discussed that much - the sort of emotional marathon that comes with draft after draft.

And then there's the endless question: is it any good?
