Only instead you are taking internet images and pinning them to your different boards you create. Very fun.

I have a hard time being serious when I write a post, and sometimes I wonder if readers find it annoying, but then I decide I don't care because that's what's coming out of my head, and it is what it is. It's my place and I'll do what I want with it. <br />Keep doing what you're doing, it works!<br />Carbs rule, and I hope you join the challenge.<br />I'm afraid of Pinterest.

You are lucky.<br /><br />Pinterest is a place for me to keep stuff that I randomly come to that I like or find interesting. No real set purpose for me and I like it that way.<br /><br />No interest in Tumblr for me, but my girls like it.<br /><br />I have been VERY tempted by the Clarissa challenge. I have not taken it on though because I doubt I could keep it up. But it is an interesting one.

For other kinds of writing (like fiction dialogue or a legal brief), it's not so great. In any case, I like the way you write.<br /><br />I also love the blog. What is this deadline you have? Is it self-imposed?<br /><br />Also, I love the author events too. Thanks for including me in the last one. :)<br /><br />Oh, and I'm perplexed by both Tumblr and Pinterest.

You can reblog things other people have blogged. Usually, most people use it for sharing pics and videos and so that's why people like to reblog things. I hope that helps.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-35025027312937538472012-02-08T14:31:04.196-07:002012-02-08T14:31:04.196-07:00Yes!

Re wri...Yes! Join us reading Clarissa this year :)<br /><br />Re writing like you talk ... hmmm. I tend to do that on my blog. Thought the same thing you did, that it gave it a more personal twist. My blog is not a professional/academic device and I want it to reflect my voice as much as possible. I do tend to be somewhat circumspect since it is out there for everyone (including my Dean) to see.Terri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12215878121282668358noreply@blogger.com
