Another poem inspired by Lucy of Blonde Write More! The dreaded distractions of Social Media… a hard one for many modern day writers!
Anti-Social Media
Time to knuckle down
To ponder and to frown
To sit and take a look
At how to better my own book
Computer on, tea by my side
My notes beside me as a guide
I’ll just check my phone
And then my work I’ll hone
A few amusing tweets
Insta had some treats
Click a photo of my workspace
And then I’ll pick up pace
Mustn’t forget my Facebook crew
They need a little attention too
And of course the blog
Jeez, Social Media’s a time hog
Right, now to that edit
Need to unpick it bit by bit
Comb every line for silly errors
Brush away the punctuation terrors
But, Ping! A notification
To my phone, my hand does hasten
I’ll just quickly check again
Clear my emails once, and then
I’ll definitely start my work
I promise I won’t shirk
And… oh! My time is up
Power off and drain my cup
Ritu 2019
Now, with that in mind, I have to tell you that I need to be a good girl, stop with all the other things, and start this edit in earnest!
No promises here, but I may be a little quieter…
Wish me luck!
But I Smile Anyway...

Hehe, brilliant, Ritu. What I do is allocate my time. 1 hour of blogging and then write for 2 hours. Tea break and check instagram and then write again. I struggle to write for more than 4 hours straight in a day as I find it hard intellectual work.
