Dan Blank, an author and writing coach, shares his experience of stepping away from social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter since March 2023.

Blank aims to return to social media in September with a more intentional, joy-focused approach, prioritizing meaningful connections over metrics. He encourages writers to reflect on the experiences they truly want from social media and make adjustments accordingly.
