I love this conclusion.
Re social media, I'm no fan - though I am one of those people whose thumbnail description of Medium for those who've never heard of it is "FB for writers." That said, I don't put Medium in the category of Instagram, FB, or Twitter or whatever else is out there. For one thing, in my experience, it's civilized, supportive, kind, open to a divergence of opinion.
I'm glad Carolyn tagged me. It'll be intriguing to look deep within and see where I stand in all this.
