    Only if it was real life! As long as it is just a fantasy in our heads, we can arrange that we each have it all to ourselves.

    I share real good. The back section of the NYT Book Review had an essay about writers who go to retreats and residencies and have to withdraw from social media. Some of them have a very hard time but figure they miss reading 36 books a year and writing 1 1/2 books because of social media.
