Yup, I’ve done it—I’m now on Twitter! And yes again, it’s a bit of a big step given that my writing commitments are heavy and anything that has the potential to eat into writing time is quite scary.<\/p>\n
But then again, when you live at the bottom of the world, not quite as far away from anywhere else as it’s possible to get but close to it, the internet and social media like Twitter are an important way to interact with both readers and other writers. In a way, going on Twitter is probably the writer’s equivalent of frequenting an 18th century coffee house …<\/p>\n
Mind you, I can already see that the Twitterverse is a wild wild world with a huge amount going on (Paul Weimar from SF Signal called it a ‘river’ and he’s not wrong!) But wild and chaotic can be fun, too—so I do hope that those of you who are on Twitter will consider following me on what feels as much like embarking on a whitewater rafting adventure as strolling into a coffee house!<\/p>\n
You will see the “Follow Me @helenl0we” link on the right side bar, just below the Tuesday Poem icon. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
(The ‘0’ is a zero by the way, so don’t be fooled …)<\/p>\n
