Precy Larkins--YA Author: Cracked Myself Out of the Egg so I Could Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!

Cracked Myself Out of the Egg so I Could Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!

The overwhelming facts were against me.

Everywhere I looked, the little blue birdie flashed its cerulean feathers to taunt me.

Tweet, tweet, tweet! it said.

No, no, no, I replied. Too busy. I have a WIP to finish, kids to raise, a house to clean, dinner to cook, books to read, and a blog to keep.

Tweet, tweet, tweet. Accompanied with a glint of its eye. Mocking and enticing me at the same time.

I threw up my hands in frustration. Alright, I give up. I'll come take a look.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I did not just take a look. I took a dive. I am now on Twitter and yes, you can follow me. Imagine that.

Thanks to Anita Howard who posted this, and made me think if she's brave enough to take the plunge, maybe I'm brave enough too? Hmm...still not sure.

Another thank you goes to Nina Badzin who wrote a twitter for dummies post here.

If you're already on Twitter, come and say hello. I'm still learning to fly.

BBC said...: Yeah see... I've got a phone for truckers, due to my love of dropping things. You know who you should ask? @RC_Lewis - she's a smart gal :); April 19, 2011 at 12:39 PM
