The Invisible Man

This caught my eye in a report today about Matthew Newton's troubles in getting back into show business:

Others [high profile agents] conceded the only role Newton could attempt is behind-the-scenes, such as scriptwriting.

"I don't think anyone wants to actually see him - he needs to be invisible," they said.

The revelation that agents apparently talk in unison aside, the fact that scriptwriting is considered the equivalent of being invisible made me laugh.

In my case it's virtually true - no more Facebook, no more Twitter, no more Google+, no more online distractions (well, other than this blog).

As Darryl Kerrigan from The Castle might ask, "how's the serenity?"
