Recently, a new book titled "Working On My Novel" has been released, containing a collection of social media posts from writers. These posts often reveal that the authors are not actually focused on their writing projects, despite claiming otherwise. This compilation highlights the contrast between their stated intentions and their actual engagement with writing.
The book resonates with themes from Ryan Holiday's work, "The Ego Is the Enemy," which discusses how ego can hinder personal and professional growth. In this context, the social media distractions showcased in "Working On My Novel" serve as a modern reflection of how personal ambitions can be undermined by the noise of external validation and procrastination, emphasizing the challenges writers face in staying committed to their craft.
