Chronicles of a Procrastinating Novelist Volume 29: Social Media Fairy

An attention seeking, time usurping menace of a fairy, she's the new kid on the block and the evil fruit of Distraction Fairy's affair with the internet. With her constant notifications noses, vibrations, and red dots, she attacks multiple senses to shatter your focus. Her ubiquity trains you to Pavlovian reflexiveness when responding to her intrusions. So insidious is her intrenchment that she's made herself necessary to the marketing and distribution of your art while simultaneously sabotaging your ability to make it. Unfortunately, you must make a truce with this needy little vixen. Carve out a space for her, apply her to your art where need be, then avoid her like a winged plague when it comes time to create.

It's tricky, but an achievable and necessary evil.

Thank you for reading.
