Hooked on Pinterest - the discovery has recently been made and the unlimited reach and variety
of the web has drawn me in! Boards – public AND secret? Followers and following. Unlimited DIY ideas, crafts, recipes. Oh and animals - lots of smiles and 'awe's as I scroll through pictures pinned by others. Taking precedence are cats – from a
magnificent Ligar (cross between a lion and tigress) to Norwegian Forest cats. Noble
and stunning horses are also finding their way onto my boards. All things books, and oh, what a great place
to line up those unattainable celebrity crushes! Both current day and from long ago teenage
angst. For example James Drury – TheVirginian from the early ‘70’s..such a crush I had on that cowboy! Anyone else remember that western? Today’s equivalent is Jon Hamm….apparently a
tall dark, brooding, and handsome theme still runs through my veins!
Not to mention being able to gather all things Star Trek and
Tolkien. It’s like having a library
and craft room all in one tiny but unlimited space – my computer. With the beauty of not having to dust
anything! However the question is – how
will this benefit my pursuit of writing and is there room for Jamie Tremain
amidst the boards. Pinterest is fast
becoming another popular social media and I believe I can see some benefits –
networking with other authors and writers for one. How neat to have a spot to gather, and organize, books
related to this wonderful community of writers.
Tomorrow is a planned Jamie Tremain day as I trek off to
spend it with Pam in Oakville – she has promised a lunch at Stoney’s – if we can
get in the door! Then we need to work on
our collaborative offering for the Scene of the Crime short story contest – due next
month. How to merge two different
endings into one tale – there’s a challenge.
Lots of coffee please!
Pam will have another interview to post by month’s end – its
sure to be a good read. Make sure you
keep checking back so as not to miss it!
And feel free to join me on Pinterest – who knows what ideas I’ll be
able to ‘pin’ from you!
Cheers
Liz
That's all I need. Another site for me to get lost in. You will have to show me tomorrow Liz as I am all out of room in the old grey cells to handle another social network site.
ReplyDeleteCoffee will be ready by 9.30. Do I have to dust and stuff?
No dusting required - just have coffee ready :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like this will be another website that will "steal" my time like so many others that I have become "tangled" up in... Guess that's why they're called WEB sites... :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated by the creativity people have and are willing to share...not to mention recipes. It's true though...it sure can take your time!
