I started creating digital mood boards on Pinterest (here are three examples below) and I thought I’d explain how to do it in case this is your jam and you want to try it for marketing, sales, your Substack, whatev.

What do Michael Crichton, NFL Draft grades and Murray Gell-Mann all have in common? Crichton is an American author and television writer who has penned over 26 novels, selling more than 200 million copies worldwide. After graduating from medical school, Crichton bypassed becoming a doctor and instead used his knowledge to write science-fiction thrillers such as Jurassic Park and Twister. He is also credited with developing the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect, named after an American physicist who won a Noble Peace Prize for his theory of elementary particles.

A few years after Joe Ide made his own fictional detective famous, the mystery author now says he’s trying not to ruin the legend of another private eye.  Ide is best known as the author of the IQ mysteries, a series of five books chronicling the story of Isiah Quintabe. The first book, IQ, was published in 2016 and was quickly followed by three more, as IQ emerged as a modern Sherlock Holmes, using observation and deduction to solve crimes, only in the liquor stores, junkyards and drug dens of South Central Los Angeles rather than Victorian London.

This is my go-to breakfast recipe for Sunday mornings. I love french toast, but it tends to become quite soggy. I used to make cornflake-crusted french toast, but after having kids, I wanted to prepare something they could easily eat with their hands. That's when I came up with the idea of making crispy French Toast Sticks. Although you will probably want to use a knife and fork, these sticks are perfect for eating on the go.

“Pour les anglophones ! Patrick Klepek est un papa qui partage sa passion pour le jeu vidéo à travers le prisme de sa vie de famille. C’est aussi une plume. Ses articles se dévorent comme un bol de céréales un dimanche matin quand on avait 7 ans.

What set me off always seemed minor to others: a less-than-perfect test score, a taunt from a classmate, a poor showing at kickball. But the result was always the same. Tears, and lots of them. They were a well-worn accessory, as much a part of my childhood identity as my height (short), hairstyle (permed) and disposition (intense). When I was growing up, my parents and teachers called me sensitive, but peers had a less generous, name: Crybaby.
