Wow... That one right there made me step back and realize I might have an addiction issue. For anyone who doesn't know what it is, Pinterest is a virtual corkboard where you "pin" or bookmark things that catch your attention. Recipes, crafts, visual inspiration, blogging and writing advice, tips on how to live frugally... The list of things that can be found on Pinterest goes on and on.
I'd say my addiction level to Pinterest is above and beyond crazy. I think we've crossed over into "How did I LIVE and function before Pinterest existed?!" I have workouts, recipes, instructions on making non-toxic household cleaners, child rearing tips, knitting and crocheting tips and patterns, writing tips and blogging advice, writing prompts, and visual inspiration for my writing (just to name a few).
It's free, and it definitely feeds my constant urge to learn. You'd think that something so simple wouldn't be so attention grabbing, but if I don't limit myself, I'll lose an hour going through pins on just one subject. It's just like doing research in a standard search engine, but it feeds the beast more so for those of us who are more habitually visual creatures. You'll start out looking for "Greek mythology" and before you know it, you're diving into Sumerian creation myths before you stumbled across something about Gilgamesh or Ereshkigal.
Well... maybe not everyone goes through the same crazy progressionof thought I do, buuut... If you've ever read any of my stories, you've probably noticed I have a thing for mythology and polytheistic religions.
If there were a help group for Pinterest addiction, I'd definitely be there weekly. So feel free to hop on and check out the insanity I'm interested in!
