Programming note: All atwitter

On Tuesday November 8 (don't forget to vote!) at 3PM EST, I will be having a Twitter chat with the extraordinary Rebecca Skloot. In the event you've been on Alpha Centauri for the last two years, Rebecca is the author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, a book for which I have huge admiration. She and I will be discussing creative nonfiction and writing about science, medicine, human beings and dogs. Please join us.

One of the easiest ways to participate in a Twitter chat is to go to www.tweetchat.com and authorize the tweetchat app. Then type in the hashtag, which is #creativenf. This opens another window in which you can see only the chat (plus saves you the trouble of trying to remember to type the hashtag all the time). Send your comments and questions and we will get to as many as we can in an hour. I am totally geeked about this!
