Thanks for the recommendation Noise in Space. I'll definitely look Nayyirah Waheed up. I've already checked into Poindexter. Looks like I have some research to do on effective tagging on IG.

I have yet to put one poem on there (I had no idea it was a thing). Or even a picture of the beach as both cars are too ancient to make it there.

I wrote two non-fiction pieces 'for'/about Calgary when I lived there, and they were published in a Calgary Newsletter last November and December.<br /><br />Now I'd love for them to be on Instagram, but I suppose it's too late. I don't live in Calgary anymore... (And I am not on Instagram but, well, that could possibly be changed.)<br /><br />Well, I wrote in some good old fashioned way to the Queen and just posted it from my current, temporary place (I won't stay in this town but in this country.).<br /><br />Watch out for some pics of the Queen Mary 2, Queen 😀.<br />One Of Us Has To Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00286506993128699826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-87081906978206638482018-05-25T10:57:03.836-04:002018-05-25T10:57:03.836-04:00I love this!

I think everyone in my office follows her. Ditto Zen Pencils, which is a little different but maybe closer to what OP wants to do as it's all illustrated (if you don't follow that account, you need to--wonderfully illustrated and very inspirational!) Honestly, insta and Tumblr are how I follow all my favorite artists too, like Ruby Etc. (In case anyone is wondering, by contrast, it took three of us to figure out how to search for tweets @'ed to a company yesterday, because none of us have logged into twitter in literally multiple years.)The Noise In Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433798159445551782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-48547742700296444422018-05-25T10:06:24.138-04:002018-05-25T10:06:24.138-04:00That's really interesting.

(Oh gosh, a sentence I probably couldn't have made a decade ago.)

I spend a good two hours a day maintaining what I already have. I enjoy it but I really have to guard my writing time. Methinks that the trick will be to refrain from random trolling.

I probably would have gone with fiction, but it makes sense it's its own category.<br /><br />Can't add anything to this, OP, because poetry isn't my thing, but I am definitely going to check out the instagram poets, so if you go that way promo yourself here so I can follow =)AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.com
