I’ve finally joined the ranks of those tweeting their news in 140 characters or less. The problem is, now that I’ve joined- I can’t find anyone who’s announced their twitter IDs!

I did manage to find DebNG (I think I joined just after she did), Dana/Marley, Kohuether, Shoemoney, and a very nice lady from the WAHM boards that I don’t actually know (TX Writer).

I know some of you are on twitter- I just can’t find you! So, if you’re there, please add me http://twitter.com/wordvixen , or send me your Twitter ID so that I can follow you! Thank you.

On another… note. I’ve been listening to classical music for two weeks. It helps me to not kill people. But today I was grabbed by the need to listen to woodwinds- so I did a search on my station provider for “woodwind”. Only a handful of stations came up, and I picked the only one that looked promising. It’s mostly bassoon.

While it suited my needs this morning (need mellow- quiet, not really music music), some of the “music” sounds like farting. I’m serious. I just listened to 5 minutes of what sounds like a college guy’s good night out. I’m simply amused by that, and it’s more than 140 characters. So I posted here.

I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. Do you realize that NaNo is less than 23 hours away? I still haven’t made up my mind if I’m participating or not, and I will probably be saying that with 2 hours left before it’s over.

I did put up a profile though- just in case. If you missed my previous post on it, here’s my NaNoWriMo profile. Drop me a comment with your profile if you want me to add you as friend. I’ve only got two so far.

I met with my editors today (I love saying that) for coffee and sandwhiches at the local Panera. It’s the first time I’ve ever been to a Panera, and for the most part I was pleased. The bread was of course delicious, but their soups and cheeses were excellent as well. The coffee was good, but they did mess up my order a bit.

Still, we sat and chatted for 7 hours, flipped through some writing magazines, and I brought home books. I love books. One was Plot and Structure, and the other was a novel for reviewing.

There’s nothing like getting to sit and talk about writing with other writers face to face. I love having the connection to everyone out in blogland, but every once in a while, it’s good to get out in the world. And… talk about… writing. Does that seem a little odd? Talk about writing?

We also discussed promotion a bit, so I think that’s something that we’re all going to be trying to get into for a while now.
