Bye Bye Social Media

July 26, 2017 Ayah Abdul-Rauf

It was fun while it lasted, but it was distracting. I'm glad I gave it a shot. It seems to me, though, that updating instagram and twitter (on personal accounts) merely waters down the ideas and research that I could otherwise bake into something meatier, like a new book or script ;) 

Yes, I'm writing a new script. That's all I can say for now, though. 

I've also invested my downtime into new research (another thing that was not especially helped by my social media habits), I'm studying more about story structure, as always, and the history of violence (truly fascinating). I would recommend Steven Pinker's book, The Better Angels of our Nature, if you're at all interested in that topic.
