Twitter Guide For Writers

I've posted Part 1 of my Twitter Guide For Writers over on Inkygirl. Although the post targets writers, there's useful info for anyone who's thinking of signing up for Twitter.

Twitter Songs

I've spent most of the past week recovering from a flu bug I picked up at FKO. Symptoms (if you caught the same, we can commiserate, eh?): overwhelming need to sleep ALL THE TIME, plus it feels as if someone has stuffed your head full of Elmer's Glue and cotton. Starting a couple of days ago, I was conscious for periods long enough to (1) post more about FKO and (2) briefly browse Blip.fm and Twitter on my iPhone from time to time. Not terribly productive, but I did find this Twitter song:

Finally finished unpacking from FKO yesterday afternoon! And went out to buy some fruit without collapsing along the way! Yes, I feel SO accomplished. Hoping to do some catching up with work today.
