I have never been a big TikTok user. I mainly went there to watch videos of people making sourdough bread or scrambled eggs. For this reason, the short blackout of that platform didn’t have a big impact on me, other than to reinforce the mercurial nature of all social media/sharing platforms.
Remember Napster? Yeah. I do too.
They can disappear at any time. Add that to the fact that what we see is controlled by an algorithm and our feeds are flooded with ads, and I find I am losing interest.
And for that reason, I really am going to making an effort to post to social media less, and concentrate on sharing things here and in my newsletter more.
So, here is what I did this weekend…
I made sourdough!
After weeks of voyeuristic video watching, my starter, Suzanne, was finally bubbly enough to jump in and join the cult of cultured bread! I wasn’t quite ready to go full nature-girl on this outing, so I followed Paul Hollywood’s step-by-step and used the KitchenAid.
And look what happened!
Isn’t she lovely? I plan to try different techniques and I’ll have to get a better handle on my timing, but overall, I am pleased!
In other news, I have a new book coming out this week. My latest Intrigue series kicks off with SHADOWING HER STALKER, and should be available wherever Harlequins are sold!
We had a big (for us) snow here in Arkansas last week, and I tell you, I had the best snow-weekend. I read, watched my first K-Drama (The Extraordinary Attorney Woo), read, and napped. I wore soft pants for days and admired the view from my window, It was glorious.
So that’s what I’ve been up to this week. What’s new with you?
Happy release week! Happy bread-making! Happy blogging and badassing! 😀
