I'm off social media, hopefully for good. There are a few things I miss, but they are few and far between. My life is so much better without it. I may write about that some more on my newsletter even though I already bring it up quite often. I don't know.
I've really doubled-down on gym visits since last fall and I love it. Do you read Arnold Schwarzenegger's fitness newsletter? I know the idea of it is possibly cause for eye rolling, but with all the skepticism I went into it with, it's pretty much my favorite read every day, and the thing I go to first. It doesn't make any sense! Here's the link, if you're interested:
I have a great picture from 2018 of David Quammen and I signing our books to each other. His event at F&F for Tangled Tree was the day after mine for OSJ. I've known David and his wife Betsy for a number of years (she's a great writer too, and I just sent in a blurb for her next book that is coming out later this year) and they are the best kind of people.
I think I started a reply and got distracted - oops. I would really love to hear your quitting social media thoughts if you need a push to write about it. I did not have "looking forward to Arnold's morning emails" on my 2023 bingo card, but you're right, it's really good and practical. I've been reading it before I head into the gym, and it gives me a little pep in my step. Thanks for heads up!
I love the David Quammen story - so glad to hear that he's as great as his writing made him seem. After Tangled Tree, I plan to go through his backlist, and I'll add Betsy to the list too.
