I always learn so much from these Twitterific Sundays, Elizabeth. The one that caught my eye this time is the one on the writing residency. That’s something I’d love to do if it ever worked out…
Wouldn’t that be fun? Hope you’re doing well!
Is it just me or are Twitter handles just really interesting sometimes? Brainpicker – I need to check out that one.
They really can be and I’ve noticed people changing theirs lately!
