Elizabeth – These are great links, as always! You are such a treasure trove of information!
Why search Twitter when I can just come here?
Do you keep your twitter posts on a certain page? Sometimes I like to just go and look up a certain topic. I guess I could search under the label, twitter.
Thanks, Elizabeth.

What a fantastic, comprehensive list. Thanks for doing so much work for us! And thanks for the shout-out for my “Enjoy Being Unpublished” post.
Also a belated thank you for posting my “12 Dos and Don’ts for Introducing your Protagonist” which made it to Jane Friedman’s list of best Tweets for Writers and is still being re-tweeted. You got me a whole lot of new followers!
This week I have a post from guest blogger Janice Hardy on how to conduct a blog tour.
Margot–Thanks for coming by!
Alex–I’m glad you feel that way! :)
Clarissa–You know, I’ve been rotten about tagging! I need to do something about that, going forward. Or else I could put all my Twitterifics on a separate page…good idea! I’ll try to do that in the next couple of weeks.
Anne–I enjoy the tweeting–maybe a little too much? :)
You’re very welcome–great posts! I’m glad you were able to get some new followers from it.
Great links as always! Thank you!
You’re so welcome, Conda! :)
As always, I am in awe of your Twitter links! Thank you. I’m off to check them all out!
