abandoning the social media aspect of practical research

Upon reflection I had decided to abandon the social media/ project persona aspect of the project.

(To note, the social media had not really been discussed asides from hypothetically so far. The account was @winters222, a vague name and number chosen as something bland, and non-telling of any identity)

• This could have been more interesting/ fruitful with more time to build up an audience of which their reactions could actually be judged. Without a large group, it is as much of 'yelling into the void' as it would be practicing alone.
• Although I was only posting to a minute audience I felt a strange amount of pressure to conform to what they would like, and seek their approval, essentially nullifying the private practice. It is a strange phenomenon for sure, and one I should be able to ignore, but given that the social media aspect was not providing much in terms of the research, it was not worth its hinderance on my creative processes either. 
• The *persona* (a new identity, but not anything beyond a name) in being so anonymous and bland was meant to be another tool in supporting a new/private practice, but in the same way of the account in its entirety was a hinderance.
