Hard relate to this post. I’ve been thinking a lot about “personal brand” and I too have a lot of interests *and* I like the idea of totally logging off. Something I find useful to think about is: a brand is just what you’re known for… even pre-social media writers like Sylvia Plath had a “brand” it was likely just called something different back then. Also, plenty of writers don’t have any input on their own social media - David Sedaris for example. I think about that a lot. Building a following to pass over to a management team. P.S. I’m never annoyed by your posts, shout about your book!

yes! I need to frame it more as building something I can pass over for someone else to deal with!
