There was no way, no how I was EVER going to "join" Twitter. (Hah! Like there's anything to join!) Now I love it to pieces.

I started following more people, going beyond friends to lit agents, publishing companies and funny people like Stephen Colbert. I lurked for a long time. I agree, it's a time suck, but I think it's a relevant communication tool. My twitter post updates my facebook, meaning I don't have to chck fb as often either.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-82083338362306252972011-04-28T11:33:07.458-04:002011-04-28T11:33:07.458-04:00My biggest problem with Twitter is the giant time-...My biggest problem with Twitter is the giant time-suck it becomes when a conversation gets interesting.

In general, I think following back on Twitter is the polite thing to do and I feel like people who don't are being kind of snobby. That said, I agree that authors are much more likely to have people pay attention to their tweets if they aren't giving updates on their bodily functions every five minutes.<br /><br />Twitter seems to be fairly forgiving in that nobody pays attention to messages for more than a few hours (usually). Experiment until your people find you and keep going with what's interesting to them. Also, yes, fun is crucial.1600 Words A Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069188020558544818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-30225926451832788412011-04-28T08:51:57.358-04:002011-04-28T08:51:57.358-04:00Very interesting read!
