Hey Chris, You're working so very hard these days. I have a totally, 100% unrelated question for you. I hope it doesn't upset you or anyone on this thread, but I need to hear a point of view other than my own.

Hey Chris, You're working so very hard these days. I have a totally, 100% unrelated question for you. I hope it doesn't upset you or anyone on this thread, but I need to hear a point of view other than my own.
The subject is Instagram! I'm a writer and artist and some folks have been poking me to join the platform. At some level, I get that it's a great place to connect with other artists and writers and get some good work out in the world. However, I do have some privacy concerns and want to protect myself. Also, the guy who owns it is a kind of a jerk. I don't feel good using his platform when he is such an obvious fart-head.
I think that you share my opinion of the fore-named fart-head. How do you use the platform and what's your method for coping?
I love your book! Thank you for writing it. Are you coming to the SF Bay Area at all?
RE: Instagram, April. I returned to it when the release of BLS was imminent, largely to help venues who invited me to do events with them promote those events. As a means to connect with other artists and writers and get work out ... I don't know. I think it's largely a waste of time and I'm not sure how much longer I'll use it. Remember, our art isn't the product, WE are the product. I wish it would all collapse, frankly.
Hey Chris, Thanks for this. I've been waiting for it to collapse so I don't have to endure another lecture on why I should join Instagram. It can also be a great place to be ignored and bullied. AND good luck for the Bay Area Book Festival! Let me know if you get in.
