I'm enjoying my coffee and Raisin Bran." ;-) You just have to look until you find them.Brenda Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528691681455659296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-51213084676439669022009-05-05T12:56:00.000-04:002009-05-05T12:56:00.000-04:00I've been reluctant to jump on the Twitter bandwag...I've been reluctant to jump on the Twitter bandwagon simply because it seems so mundane (do I really need to know that 'so-and-so just ate a cheese sandwich'?)... but on the other hand, I've noticed a lot of authors have started using Twitter and their updates reflect how the writing process is going - ie. 'so-and-so is trying to get work done at the coffee shop. Loud talker making it hard to concentrate' - which is not only humorous, but it's fun to see that published writers AND those of us still working toward it struggle with the same things everyday.<br /><br />So, I haven't jumped onto the TwitTrain (lol) yet... but I'm standing at the station, wondering if I should board...Faithhttp://www.boughanfire.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-73362114417228139892009-05-03T08:39:00.000-04:002009-05-03T08:39:00.000-04:00I was glad to see you, too, Valerie.

I guess that means we're looking to connect a wee bit with the person behind the writer. I do think it can help sell books, though. I've become interested in some of the books I've seen mentioned. Not from the folks who say "Buy my wonderful book!" ten times a day, though.<br /><br />Good to reconnect with you there! :)Valerie Comerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674882711125123089noreply@blogger.com
