I am a word person.
I love writing.
So why do I get the jitters whenever I have to reply to a request for my band's social media / online shop?
Because we suck at both.
None of it involves writing.
I hate advertising, it's an industry dedicated to talking people into buying things they don't want.
The idea of having to stay on top of every new social media fad so we can endlessly throw our aging faces out into a scrolling universe full of younger ones just exhausts me and makes me sad.
And yet I know this is not how it is. My brain is backing up on me, and it's not reading things aright.
I'll come around, but sometimes I have to write down exactly how I feel in order to see all the flaws in it.
Gimme time, I'll come around. I've been feeling down and useless lately.
