Twitter Vs. A Social-Media-Phobic

“Hi. I’m Sara, and I’m a social-media-phobic.”

In fact, up until six months ago, I loathed all forms of social media. So…

Why Did I Befriend the Twitterverse?

I’ll admit it: At first, I only joined Twitter because I read somewhere that an author needs a social media presence. Begrudgingly – and oh so judgmentally – I created my profile. For shame.

Dear Twitterverse,

Please accept my apologies.

I came to you with shallow expectations. I feel differently, now.

With every roll of my eyes, I scorned your value.

With every troll I found, I disregarded genuine tweeters.

But you didn’t hold my attitude against me. You wooed me with your quick chuckles, welcoming writing community, and entertaining GIFs.

Thank you.

Although now I’m glad that I joined Twitter, as with all things, there are pros and cons.

Debbie Jones Warren (@DebbieJWarren)

Debbie is caring and encouraging.

I’ve especially enjoyed reading her personal stories on her blog: Above All Else.

Seriously, you should check it out. You’ll be surprised by her unique experiences and perspective.

OnlyBarb (@agent99time)

Barb cracks me up! Her combination of joy and realism that she sends out into the world is a breath of fresh air.

Barb is a writer and blogger, and also has an exciting career as a 911 operator. She blogs about her job and life at https://onlybarb.blogspot.com/

Demi Edwards (@demi_writer)

Demi is a mum and a wife and writes middle-grade fiction.

I love following Demi’s tweets because she shares openly about the highs and lows of motherhood, writing, and working in the medical profession. She’s honest, she’s easy to relate to, and that makes me feel a little less alone in the world right now.

Alison Lewis (@AliLew8)

Alison is a wife, mother, educator, and writer. She’s sent me the most encouraging tweets when I’ve been down. She’s a gem. 🙂

Alison blogs about life, faith, and hope at https://asecretspring.com/

Who Knew the Twitterverse Could Be So Friendly?
