Sharing Things that Pinterest Me

Filed under: Check-it-out, Touching the Surface, Uncategorized

I don’t know if you’ve seen Pinterest–its this cool new site where you create boards (categories) that you pin (post) and repin (repost from other people’s boards) pictures and pictures with links that you find interesting.  It’s addictive eye candy and I love it.  The boards can be about food, fashion, crafts, athletics, design, people–you name it–it’s probably there. But what I really like about it, is how great a tool it is for writers.  If you like to make visual picture boards for your stories (I do) then this is a great way to do it.  It’s also a very visual way to share your vision of your book with your readers.  Here, I’ll show you what I mean…

Kim’s Pinterest Board for TOUCHING THE SURFACE

Of course it’s a work in progress and I’ll keep adding to it as I find the right pictures, but I think it’s just fun to see my story come alive in different ways.  Just like a playlist gives audio depth to writing, a picture is worth a thousand words extra words.  And we all know how long it can take to get those words just right on the page.  :o)

Are you on Pinterest?  How do you like to use it?  If you haven’t seen it before, check it out and let me know what you think.
