TV and the manipulation of emotionsKatie Hinderer | 19 May 2012In my opinion, too many people allow their emotions to be manipulated by the externals of a TV show – the costume, the scenery, the music, the fluttery feeling you have when two of your favorite characters are together. Not enough viewers look critically at these shows. Not enough step back and consider how they would truly feel if this happened to them.The politics of clothing choicesKatie Hinderer | 16 May 2012As a fashion blogger, I certainly am interested in what Michelle Obama was wearing on the Jay Leno show (a J. Crew sweater) or what Ann Romney wears while campaigning with her husband. At the same time I don’t think these clothing items should be fodder for personal ire with a candidate or his wife.Thinspo inspiration is anything butKatie Hinderer | 8 May 2012My value comes from more than a side-by-side comparison to a complete stranger or even a good friend. My value is from being human, from working hard, from loving others, from being one small cog in this wheel of the world. It saddens me to see how many people feel they aren't beautiful or worthwhile unless they are thin.Fifty Shades isn't really so greyKatie Hinderer | 5 May 2012Fifty Shades of Grey is about to be 50% harder to avoid – or worse. Now, the best-selling ebook, which is nothing more than pornography thinly veiled as ‘literature,’ now has a movie deal.What I learned as a year-old indie authorKatie Hinderer | 3 May 2012As I debated the indie route for my second book, I realized this year has taught me a lot about the entire process. Here’s what I've learned during my first year as an indie author.SM: Chance to connect with people we would have never knownKatie Hinderer | 11 Apr 2012In all honesty I would say I have a number of friends thanks to social media. These are friends I have not met. They are people I would not have ever been in touch with if social media didn’t exist.SM: Easier access to research, documentsKatie Hinderer | 9 Apr 2012We don’t have to take the information that someone else is summarizing for us, we can go a search and find the original documents ourselves.SM: A return to the classicsKatie Hinderer | 6 Apr 2012Most people I know wish they had more time to read good literature. With the internet and social media it is even easier to make sure I get in that bit of culture.Why I like The Hunger GamesKatie Hinderer | 2 Apr 2012From the moment I found myself engrossed in the book I have had a love for The Hunger Games. And while I will admit that I was disappointed with the end of the series, I think this is an excellent young adult series.SM: Maintaining contact across great distancesKatie Hinderer | 1 Apr 2012Usually when I give social media presentations and I ask people to list the positive aspects the first, and often only, good thing people name is the ability to keep in touch over great distances.subscribe donate
