For about a week after I got my Pinterest account, I would log on, look at how to "pin" things and create "boards", then get exhausted thinking about it and log off. After awhile, I was getting a lot of followers and feeling badly, because what were they following? A user with no content? Really?
Over the past couple of days, guilt overwhelmed me and I started a couple of boards with a couple of pix. I've got "Peri's Haunts" with pictures of places I use in Freezer Burn and Hit or Missus (and the 3rd book, soon), and "My Horses" with pictures of Frostie and Snoopy.
Today, I know how this Pinterest thing can be useful. I posted a picture of Snoopy the night he was born with a quote from the memoir I'm writing. People I've never heard of are "re-pinning" the picture. (P.S. Re-pinning is when other people pin your picture to other places and kind of pass it around.) I could let these people know when Snoopy's memoir gets published and who knows?
What do you think? Oh, my Pinterest link is http://pinterest.com/gaylecarline, if you're p-interested.

Okay, here are my thoughts about shminterest. I love pinning pics. I made up a storyboard for The Temple of Ardyn and I love finding pics that kind of sort of look like the people and places in my book.
Beyond that, I don't know that the sam hill I'm doing on Pinterest. One of these days when I have more time (hahahahahahaha!!) I'm going to sit down and figure it out. Apparently you can put recipes and a whole bunch of stuff on there.
Oh, and there seems to be some controversy about copy right, but I just don't get it.
For now, I love it. ; )
