Tumblr, are you stealing my writing time?
Procrastination is deadly. Years ago I remember uninstalling Tetris so I actually wrote my uni essays. Don’t make me blacklist you, Tumblr.

To legions of fictitious men
A real existence lends,
Brain-people whom we rarely fail,
Whene’er we hear their names, to hail
As old and welcome friends;
William Stone, The Craft of Writing (edited by Julia Sloane), 1979, p.45
