Meet Giant Squid Organizer Robin!

I thought it would be fun for everyone to get to know the Giant Squid Organizers, Robin gets to go first! So sit back, relax and learn about who the heck is answering all your questions about the Giant Squid Program!

Meet Giant Squid Organizer Robin, Lensmaster: rms

How long have you been a Lensmaster on Squidoo and what was your first lens?

I can't believe you asked me that today because today (May 8, 2008) is my one year anniversary!  The very first lens that I ever made was deleted by me shortly after making it.  It was such a mess!  But the second lens I made was Totally Terrific Tomato Recipes and that one still exists and continues to do fairly well.

What 5 words best describe your personality?

I'm a quiet, serious, responsible, silly, dreamer.  Maybe not always in that order.

Do you have another job, other then being a Lensmaster?

I consider myself a writer now.  It took me a long time to say that but that's what I do and that's what I am.  Lately Squidoo has taken control of me but I've been published several times in the past and plan to get back to the creative fiction soon.  In my previous life I was a pharmacy tech.

What's your favorite topic to write about?

I mostly like to write about both gardening and cooking.  You can see the culmination of that in my Tuscan Gardens by Design lens. 

What's the one piece of advice you would give to someone just starting out on Squidoo?

Have fun with your lenses.  Choose a subject that you love and go crazy writing about it.  If it isn't fun, it isn't worth doing.  For me that's a big part of what Squidoo is all about.  I'm having a blast making lenses and I get a nice paycheck every month for doing what I love!
