Existential crisis no. 7963
This has actually been bugging me: is Twitter a necessary promotion and idea-sharing tool for an artist? Or is it just a distraction? I have been holding out joining because I waste enough time as it is on facebook, but if I joined twitter as well, would I waste the same amount of time on a wider variety of stimuli? Is Twitter, as Margo Lanargan says, the water cooler conversation a writer/artist is usually denied working by themselves? Somedays I think I should chuck my modem out. But then I watch another amazing youtube video or google what Wordsworth looks like and realise that I cannot live without it. Somedays I think I should oil the etching press in my shed and go completely analogue, but then who would know if I didn’t blog about it? We are becoming very performative… cue existential crisis no. 7964…
LET ME BE FRANK 
Get an iPad and you can twitter in your down time, as well as ….
That last comment was from William not Sarah, she left herself logged in on my iPad. I should have left lots more comments
I joined twitter maybe 6 months ago, and I really like it. At first, it was a huge distraction, like a new shiny toy, but that wore off after about a week. I like it because it’s so much cleaner than FB – no games, no apps, no ads. I’m finding twitter to be a better networking tool than FB.
