Writers Ask: Should I be on social media?

When we are embarking on writing, we need to have a safe harbor in which to rest. I am a huge fan of cultivating a sense of safety into our writing practice. Whether that’s disconnecting from the news, taking refuge in your friends and family, keeping a day job to protect your financial safety, or yes, staying off social media—all of it is incredibly important to protecting your practice and yourself as a writer.
