Jerry Saltz

Power, Amazing, Show

Jerry Saltz

Art, Rather, Alive

Open, Top, Mountain

Susan Orlean

Time, Mind, Days

Social media is a giant distraction to the ultimate aim, which is honing your craft as a songwriter. There are people who are exceptional at it, however, and if you can do both things, then that's fantastic, but if you are a writer, the time is better spent on a clever lyric than a clever tweet.
