This week, the Misfit Crew put down their phones to talk about social media and its positive and negative effects on creativity, mental health, and relationships. Is social media a healthy place for writers? What were our first experiences with the internet and social media and how will it pan out in the future? How is the current climate informing the way we interact with each other online? So many deep questions.   We touch on Tomi Adeyemi's Twitter beef with Nora Roberts, evaluate the permanence of the seemingly fleeting medium of social media, and stress the importance of 'sliding in the DMs'.   The crew also gushes about what they've been into, including Katie's (painful) endurance of One Hundred Years of Solitude and her joyful obsession with Vampire Diaries, Kyle's impulsive, rewarding dive into My Brilliant Friend, and Michelle makes a case for retroactive Oscars being awarded to The Muppet Christmas Carol.
