You know, I honestly think FB OR Twitter is fine. Other than that there seem to be more agents/editors on Twitter. The problem is, once you get started on both, you’re sort of THERE.

Since I’m already active on Facebook, and I joined jacketflap, I’m not sure I need anymore time spent on social networks. And yet, the tweet thing really entices me.

Lynn, I think probably not now, but thank you. Much of that, I think, is still her story to tell. She’s working on her memoirs, which are fun for me to read, though.

Are you up for writing a bio-vignette about your mother for TellTale Souls? I’d welcome your story. Let me know, and I’ll send you you parameters.

Lynn–thanks for stopping by.

I use TweetDeck & there’s a nice button just to delete those DMs. Don’t know if there’s an equivalent on the Twitter page.

Your blog looks great; I like what you’re doing with memoir.

Loved your comment about stretching one’s brain – always a good thing!

Is there some way to delete all the old direct messages I have in my box from way back & then keep it current?

I, too, have some surprises in my followers’ list, & the number of people I’m supposedly following grew by ten yesterday when I just added one!

FYI I’m passionate about inspiring & teaching people to capture the character of a loved one in a bio-vignette – would love your comment about my blog. Thank you. http://www.telltalesouls.com/blog

The only problem I had with that was that I wasn’t getting notified about all of them. And the notes weren’t going into my spam folder, so I think it’s a problem on Twitter’s end. WHen I went to look at my Followers list, I always had a few surprises.

Well, I just play out there. And see what happens!

I’ve gotten a few icky twits following me but I clicked on the Block link on right.
I assumed that kept them from following. Am I wrong about that?

Thanks for all the input. I really don’t understand a lot about Twitter and just haven’t tried to learn. I do the basics.

You seem much more active. Good for you for figuring it out.

I’m going to update the post now. I think I have the basics!

I think with all these sites, it’s sort of a “you never know.” To go out there with an actual goal/intention may just be a way to get disappointed. But to chat, get acquainted, and then see what happens–maybe that’s it?

I am finding Twitter useful in finding agents and editors who are on there, although I’m still not sure how it’s going to benefit me yet. I’m still more of a lurker on Twitter.

And I’m eager to hear Susan’s explanation because I followed your recommendation when twits started showing up!
