Until May 18th, I am participating in The Indy Convergence, an annual retreat for artists that is also an incredibly intense experience. Every day (mostly) I post a Flash Blog about the experience.

My husband and I could not use social media more differently. He has winnowed his way down to a Google+ account but only checks a stream when someone tags him. I literally live off social media but only if I find a real use to it (Sorry, Pinterest. I hardly knew ye.). Along these lines, …
