And the CPs, yes! I've found a few, myself! So glad you've had a great experience with Twitter, too, Kathy!Rae Oestreichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102209066412105186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624302039838757491.post-89247251056549459632015-04-10T07:14:54.079-06:002015-04-10T07:14:54.079-06:00Twitter is awesome!

I typed in writers in the search and followed people with interesting bios. Yes! Write bios! It took me a year to really get into it. But then I entered Pitchmadness and BLAMO! I made friends. And now I am a Twitter addict. I connected with my publisher long before they accepted my ms. I found fabulous CPs! <br />Pretty much I use Twitter for FUN, for talking about writing with people WHO GET IT! All my friends live there. *hugs computer* Kathy Palmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624302039838757491.post-85412234973644444272015-04-09T09:57:57.249-06:002015-04-09T09:57:57.249-06:00You're totally right in bringing up that I lef...You're totally right in bringing up that I left out hashtags; you're actually ahead of the game, since I'm planning on doing another post in the future about that! I'm so glad you brought up the #amwriting tag: it's my favorite! Not only do I use it all the time, but it's great to search it and see what so many others are working on, the kinds of problems they're having, their witty remarks...it's fabulous. Another one I love (since I'm also HUGE into editing) is the #amediting tag: much like the #amwriting tag, it's great to see the troubles and ways around them other writers are dealing with in the editing stage of whatever project they're working on.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Alyssa! I love hearing your thoughts on this!Rae Oestreichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102209066412105186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624302039838757491.post-19265134451232421322015-04-09T09:03:25.815-06:002015-04-09T09:03:25.815-06:00Awesome guide, Rae -- I really don't have much...Awesome guide, Rae -- I really don't have much to add, except to be sure to follow other writers at a similar level of progression as well. All do #amwriting woes tend to help us bond quickly XD OH! And that reminded me, to keep track of all the great hashtags. The Twitter Pitch Parties, obviously (I still think I'm missing a few, oh well); the #amwriting ones and the associated writing-progress-updates ones; and chats. What's your fav hashtag to follow?Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.com
