More Distractions.



So, apparently having a blog and perusing the interwebz isn't enough distraction for me. While I've managed to stay away from--what is sure to be insanely addicting for me--facebook, I am now officially tweeting (did I say that right? Gah, I feel like an old woman).

I kept feeling like I was missing something and--come to find out--I was. A whole world of witty 140 character length gems of philosophical isms. I signed up and then promptly spent the next few hours getting completely immersed in the lifestyle of fellow tweeters. Who knew that John Green reads Moby Dick in his spare time? Who has spare time?

Do you all tweet? And if so, can I follow you? As long as you sprinkle writing advice in with what you're having for lunch...I'll be happy.

What's your take? Is twitter wonderful or all encompassing, addicting, life-consuming: like crack.



Also, I'm considering these. Aren't they ADORABLE!

  1. Twitter IS addicting! In a wonderful kind of way :) There's a huge writing community on there which I love. It's definitely a time-suck though, more so than Facebook, at least for me. So many different ways to get distracted!

    1. I know. I need to figure out a balance. But I can see how great the community is.

  2. I am not on twitter (part of the reason is the addiction factor and the other the non-excisting time factor)but I would definitely buy those shoes, haha!

    1. Probably really smart to stay away. That's what I've done with facebook, but my crit partners kept courting me with twitter. I suppose it's like anything else, it will only distract me if I let it, right?

      I'll pretend that.

  3. Not a huge twitterer here, but when I have time (ha!) I'll peruse the rambling of twits. Welcome to your new distraction. :)

  4. I am currently in the serious time-suckage phase of my newbieness to Twitter. I hope I can keep things under control! (I'm happy you're on there with me, though.)

    1. Trying to get a handle on it. It's a little like Kryptonite.

  5. Twitter is a whole new world. Glad you're there. I'm working on it, but still feel pretty lost:)

  6. I'm a little late commenting on your post, but I just found your site through Ilima's.

    I started Twitter a few months ago too. I don't tweet a lot, but sometimes it's writing stuff, sometimes whatever. I feel guilty cause I feel like I'm ignoring Facebook. They are totally separare groups of people for the most part. Gotta figure out the balance somehow.
