As an author, I need to tweet under my author name. It's all part of building name recognition, even if I'm not tweeting about my books. While that all makes sense, I still think it's really boring. I yearn for the days when I could use a fun and funky Twitter handle. Before I was published, I learned the Twitter ropes under a goofy name, but, alas, those wild and crazy days are over. Today, I is a serios author. ;-)
I'm doing a fun Twitter contest right now, asking people to retweet a message for a chance to win a book and I'm seeing lots of cool Twitter handles. It got me longing for those days of fun names. Here are just a few that make me laugh (and a little jealous) when I see them in my tweet stream:
@DarkBloodyVamp
@BookLove101
@TheBookNympho
@FanGirlMom
@OfficeWench13
@SomethingBlue22

Yay I see my name! (@DarkBloodyVamp)
I miss tweeting as often as I did before but work takes so much of my time now that in the evenings I'm too brunt out to tweet.
I miss tweeting with you and all my twitter friends but hopefully I can find a routine where we can chat!
Can't wait to read the next book!
