As it begins to decline (this decline recently declared by a millennial friend of mine), I've come to realize the benefits of Twitter.
The benefits are NOT that I--we--get to learn what famous folk really think (we didn't have to follow Robin Thicke to know he was creepy, right?). The items in my pros list for joining a dying empire have a theme and the theme is: terrified writer gets to subvert writer's block by tweeting to a faceless multitude.
There's no judgment on Twitter! I get to write in small doses! I don't need to obsessively edit! I'll just fling my little gems out into the faceless universe and build my confidence.
Ok. Don't look at me like that. I know "that's not how this works...that's not how any of this works." But, I've joined Twitter and if you want to follow me as I leave piles of gems, please do so.
