A Writer’s Attempt at Instagram

Somewhat recently I joined Instagram, and I must say I love it. I resisted for a very long time, but now that I’m there it is one of my favorite time wasters–I call it a time waster because I love to simply scroll through and admire all the pics there.

A few of my latest posts are below. If you look at my wall of pics on Instagram I kind of have a theme going–books and coffee or tea. 🙂

When I first started there, I was clueless. I generally don’t think to take pictures, so when I’m out and about the last thing on my mind is pulling out my phone to snap a pic. But when I’m at my favorite coffee hangout, I remember about half the time. I took the one directly below this morning with my husbands phone.

There is something romantic and a little mysterious about an old typewriter. I think it fits this mystery series. 🙂

Sometimes other’s photos inspire me. I saw someone who had used her computer as a backdrop for her photo. I thought I’d give it a try. Now I’m having so much fun, I went to Michael’s today to buy more ribbon. LOL I’m looking forward to creating more instagram photos.

I’ve been working hard at tying to understand the platform to make my time there valuable. One thing is clear people enjoy pictures. I enjoy pictures! It’s fun thinking up ways to include my books in an eye pleasing way.

Are you on Instagram? If so, what is your favorite thing about it?
