I set up a Twitter account not so long ago. Over the months I have learned how to use it to the best advantage, especially from a Writing point of view. It is great being able to tweet other writers - even people like Dick King Smith - whom I would never have imagined exchanging comments with before! Not only has it opened huge doors to me as a writer wanting to communicate with other writers, it has even led to a couple of commissions and yesterday I emailed an article to an editor who had invited me to write something she could feature in her online magazine. It is only a short "guest blog" on writing for children but she has also asked for one about setting up a Young Writer group and I am working on that now. It has given me the opportunity to access articles and features about - and by - other writers. It is like belonging to the largest Virtual Writing Group in the world and I love it. Since learning how to use it I have plugged The Book and the Young Writer group relentlessly and posted a lot of poetry. There are still things I am none too sure about - like tweeting a photograph. But that will come in time. If you are interested, you can reach me on @Jilly66408011
and all "follows" will be acknowledged!
Can't wait to hear from you!
Good Writing!
