Profane Apotheosis Pinboard

Good news, everybody! I have finally found a use for Pinterest.

That’s unfair, I admit it. Pinterest is a widely popular social media outlet, and I’ve had a number of pinboards reflecting my various interests. What I hadn’t figured out, though, was a way to incorporate it into my sphere as an author.

Visual Inspirations

Part of my brainstorming and development process when I’m developing an idea into a book is collecting a small library of images related to the project. I don’t really go out of my way to find references, but when I come across something that strikes me just right, I’ll save it in the project folder. It helps establish tone, more than anything else.

Project Pinboard

I’d been doing something somewhat related with Pinterest previously, pinning anything cool or interesting that I came across, but without any real focus. It occurred to me not too long ago that I could use the service to organize my inspirations by project, and I set up one for my upcoming supernatural thriller serial Profane Apotheosis.

I’d collected Goetic imagery and sigils, desolate Texan landscapes, and images of people who incorporated aspects of the primary characters involved. You can see what I’ve got in the Profane Apotheosis pinboard. There aren’t any real spoilers, but you can get an idea of the tone and themes you can expect when the serial is released in April 2014.
