    I love Pinterest. It’s a matter of choosing boards we follow, I guess. But it does help in diverting from other stuff (in my case with food and places). Reading book is my primary diversion tool from the world though. And thanks so much for this post as I’m new to your works, JV – it means I get to check out your backlist titles. 🙂

      Thank you! Books are a great diversion from the world, but they’re also a commitment. Pinterest is sneaky. “Oh, I’m just going to take a peek, while the kid is bustling around being loud.” Next thing I know lol ..

    Nod nod nod. Your post was spot on. Because of everything we’re facing and fighting for, I know for me it’s been downright challenging keeping the different compartments of my life separate. But like so many, I keep going, keep fighting, log off when it gets to be too much, definitely keep reading, and maybe even get sucked into hours upon hours of cute animal videos on YouTube, just because. =) I enjoyed your post and getting to know a new to me author. Thank you!

    LOL! Thank you for the post. It’s happened to me so many times that I’ve opened an app thinking about checking just one little thing… And come back to reality hours later, not knowing how I manage to spend so many time looking at things…

      Thanks! Facebook is actually the worst time-sink for me. I have no idea how I get caught staring at that site for so long…

    I tend to get distracted as I wander through my e-mails, so I know better than to join things like FB or Pinterest, lol, because I would never get anything done! The book sounds intriguing, thanks for sharing.

      Thanks! Yeah, I think the reason I get so much work done at Panera is because my computer outright rejects their WiFi, so I can’t get distracted and HAVE to focus.

    Great post. I have also found that I need to distract myself from the crazy bad stuff with things that remind me of the good in the world.

      It truly does. There’s a cat sanctuary not too far away that posts pictures several times a day. I don’t know what I’d do without them!

    Happy distractions & self care are essential in these troubling times. Thanks to all the authors who write books which provide a distraction for so many of us.

      Thank you so much! One of the things I like about romance (in all its subgenres) is the hope it offers. Even though the characters suffer, you know there’s a happy ending in there somewhere, and so there’s always hope.

    Nothing wrong with using Pinterest and cute pics to escape real life. For me its reading, facebook and IG. There’s so much craziness going on in the world we all need ways to escape and cope.

      Thanks! I have no idea where the time goes when I’m on facebook. I look up, and I have to ask how I spent so much time there!

    Congrats on the new release!
    I think it’s a good idea, Pinterest sometimes reminds me of Youtube. You keep clicking and clicking and there’s always something new to see/watch. It’s a good way to distract yourself.

      Thank you! I can definitely see the similarity. I haven’t gotten too into YouTube, but I can see the resemblance!
