[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twitter is toxic. I would not be able to write at all if I were required to maintain a presence there. I understand entree to some genres is predicated on a social media presence, but I write literary fiction and no one has cared, yet. I'm still emerging as a writer, at the stage of having an agent and novel manuscripts to shop. Just wanted to offer encouragement for those who are trying to break in without wasting all their writing time acting like a hypocritical "woke" wanker on Twitter, bullying anyone who dares have an independent thought.

Also, you can build a small Twitter following and presence just tweeting occasionally (usually praise for writing I read and enjoyed) and following other writers and publications. I tweet maybe twice a month. And I NEVER dive into stuff like Bad Art Friend on Twitter. I just use it as a place to find good writing, info about classes or events I might want to attend, as well as support for stuff like 1000wordsofsummer or my daily writing practice. I don't pay attention to politics on Twitter or trending topics or anything. I don't care. I get my news from the paper and a couple podcasts. Twitter is just a way to decompress at the end of the day (like DCUM) and I have zero interest in being Extremely Online. It's a waste. I'd rather be writing![/quote]
