Instagram is a fun, fascinating place, and I totally suck at it. But I like pretty pictures as much as the next gal, and I mostly post glamor shots of books (which I spend far too much time posing when I'm bored) or random pictures of things that catch my fancy. Much like Facebook photos, except with more hashtags and artsy filters.
So when YA blogger extraordinaire Dahlia Adler (of the Daily Dahlia), tweeted that an Instagram challenge that she'd come up with just for fun, I couldn't resist. The challenge was to post a picture a day for the month of February, according to the calendar below (with #AuthorLifeMonth), and it soon became huge on Book Twitter. And it was a cool glimpse into the lives of authors from all over. What I learned: authors are a funky bunch... and loads of fun!

And Day 29, that extra Leap Day, was a freebie, which meant "Post whatever you want." I had loads of fun snapping and sharing these pics! So now, without further ado... here are my #AuthorLifeMonth pics :-)
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing... love the insight into Mary, the author :D
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure! 😃
DeleteSuper cool! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave you read Rainbow Rowell's new short, Kindred Spirits, yet? It's really short -- not quite a novella. Your Star Wars stuff reminded me of it. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't! Will add it to the list :-)
DeleteLoved your Instagram campaign over the month. My favorite is that giant Hermoine.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I bartered a copy of Artificial Absolutes at a con for that Hermione :-)
DeleteVery cool, Mary! Looks like it was a lot of fun to participate - and a fun way for us to learn more about you!
