Time for another confession!

I resisted for so long.  I really did.
Almost a full year.  If you don't believe me, I offer the following post as proof.
But, as of last Saturday, October 30th, I decided to drink the kool-aid.
AND as I suspected, it was delicious.
I'm totally addicted and I don't even know what I'm doing yet.
Yes, it's official.
I'VE JOINED TWITTER!!!
I haven't even tweeted (is that the appropriate word???  I have no idea) much to be honest.  I'm just enjoying adding friends and hearing what others have to say.  I knew I'd be instantly addicted.  To be honest, that's why I resisted for so long.  But, I have to admit, for writers, there's SO MUCH information you can find daily.  Agents and friends are constantly posting useful links and articles.  There's an abundance of short clickety-clicks to suck your time away into a huge black hole.
So, please, for the love of all things community, if you are a long time Twitter user and have some tips for a total newbie, please comment below.  I have no idea how to post a cute little link or what all these hash marks are about.  Basically, I can tweet words and read what others say right now.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
My user name is:@kristikay13
If you're on Twitter and I haven't already found you, please follow me and I'll return the favor.  I love nothing more than finding new friends.
Now, share that knowledge I know you all have...I need serious help on my Twitter skillz....
