Twitter #s

There are some things in this world that drift into our lives with little impact. Then...there's the things we become addicted to. It's happened to me, in the most unexpected way. Twitter hash tags have stolen my time!

Signing up for Twitter was something I did on the spur of the moment. I was tired of not being the cool kid. Everyone had a Twitter account, and I wanted one too!

Soon after creating my account, I discovered tons of authors, agents, contests, and generally cool writerly folk. I also discovered hash tags.

It was a glorious moment! And I'm totally mesmerized by them!

My favorite # are fun, educational, and a bit scary!

Prepare yourself. I'm about to share my favorite #.

#tenqueries & #10queriesin10tweets & #500queries- Agents dig into their slush piles, spilling why or why not a query letter works for them.
 
#querytip & #pubtip- Agents, editors, and publishers give insight into the awe inducing world of publishing.

#pitmad- Brenda Drake and her awesomeness created this. Aspiring authors can pitch their book in 140 characters or less. And then real agents and publishers ask for more! #pitchwars too!

#mswl- One of my favs. Agents tweet what they'd like to see in their inboxes. Makes tracking down that perfect agent a bit easier.

#querylunch- Agent Amy Boggs eats lunch and tweets from her inbox!

#inboxinsights-Agent Maria Vicente helps authors by tweeting what she sees wrong with submissions.

Okay. There it is, in all it's # glory! Happy Twittering!
