Why I Prefer Twitter

I have been so neglectful of my blog, though I really have been meaning to utilize it a bit more. But I guess I’m just having too much fun on Twitter to notice anything else. I don’t know what it is; I just feel so much more connected on Twitter than I do with my blog. Plus, and don’t laugh, but I actually feel like I express myself better on Twitter than on my blog or Facebook. Maybe I’m just someone who likes to writer things in short bursts and not long ones (hmmm, and I want to be an author.)

I guess what I really find the most beneficial is that I can actually find a lot more like-minded people such as myself on Twitter than anywhere else. Not only do I have writers on my list of followers, but I also have people on there that have the same love of television that I do. Of course, it’s hard to find them in between the many tweets of people pimping out their books. I admit I do a shameless plug every now and then, but you’ll probably find me musing over the latest episode of The Goldbergs or Agents of Shield, which is quite often.

So yeah, like everyone else, I started out using it as just another marketing strategy, but for anyone who tweets for that sole purpose is going to be greatly disappointed. Twitter, like anything social network, requires you to be social, which means you actually have to go out and connect with people. Sure, some might find you without you having to lift a finger, but that’s not always the case. The best advice I can give is to just be yourself. I did, and I’m having a blast.

Now back to my regularly scheduled program.
