Welcome back! I've found the same about Instagram – feels good when you're dosed up on it all the time, but when you come back after a spell away you can taste the poison. I never logged back in after my little Instagram crisis last November and barely even think about it any more (of course next time I need to sell a new book I might find myself holding my nose and crawling back on there...)

Thanks Alex, and as ever I have been loving your work. Yep - Instagram - I logged on last night actually and felt my brain instantly cloud over. So promptly logged right back off again. Looking forward to catching up in person at Kendal!

I mean I delete Instagram from my phone for months at a time and it only takes five minutes back on Insta steal and hour or two of my life.

It's so mind numbingly addictive.

At least I learn something on Substack.
