\"carriephoto\"If you had told me that I would ever have been named one of 39 writers to follow on Twitter, and had an excerpt from my novel in progress reprinted on a leading blog, and gained over 1,000 followers, I would have tweeted, “huh?” leaving me 134 characters left for further self-denial and shock.<\/p>\n

I confess, I was one of those Twitter early non-adapters. It wasn’t so much that I didn’t like Twitter, but I really didn’t see the point. Every time I tweeted, I felt like no one cared, and vice-versa. What did I care what other people had eaten for breakfast? I had like 10 followers, for the longest time. This was something of a blow to my writing ego. I had, after all, published fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. I had won contests, and read out loud, at respectable places like libraries and schools, and for up to an hour — a lot longer then 140 characters’ worth. How long does it take to recite one tweet?<\/p>\n

My first few months of tweeting were pretty pathetic. I tried to be clever, and didn’t even impress myself. I tried quotes from famous authors and realized that was so not original. I had read about being authentic, but if I had to try to be authentic, wasn’t that, well, disingenuous?<\/p>\n

I tried joining in on other Twitter conversations, and I was ignored –the kiss of death in social media. The real life analogy isn’t so great either. It’s like people walking away from you at a party. Not good. I tried Tweetdeck and it crashed my system. I wanted to try Seismic Desktop, but given my previous “crash,” the name intimidated me. Tweetlater changed to “Social Oomph,” and I just couldn’t handle that at all. And what was “follow Friday,” anyway? Was I supposed to find someone I liked and follow them around town? What if they saw me?<\/p>\n

After a while, something changed, and not a moment too soon, as I was going nowhere fast in Twitterland. First, I started observing more, and learning about what others in the twittersphere were retreeting or reblogging in my topic area, which was writers, books, fiction, and the like.<\/p>\n

Then I decided to be more strategic. I knew that engagement was key, so I devoted several weeks carefully choosing those I wanted to follow, and I developed criteria for both following and finding followers<\/a>. And what about my blog? Maybe connecting the feed to Twitter would be good. I was growing a pretty good following on Facebook, so I decided to link my Twitter and Facebook, and that gave me a broader community to connect with. I had started making videos and really enjoyed that, so why not tweet the YouTube links?<\/p>\n

I learned the importance of interactivity, and answered every direct message I got. I also learned to handle dipping into conversations differently, by adding a fresh angle or thought to the dialogue. Once I saw that wasn’t so easy to be relevant, it got easier.<\/p>\n

Finally, I learned to “free my monkey mind” — the random thoughts I had when driving on the highway, or waiting on line at Safeway, or weird things I overheard. There were “mini-marketing” lessons going on in my head that were crying out to be shared, and nifty people I met in my everyday life were suddenly viable and publishable. I learned that it was OK to loosen up a little — it wouldn’t confuse my brand.<\/p>\n

Cool things started to happen. Fellow writer Sharon Hurley Hall<\/a>, named me one of 39 writers to follow. Other social media “influencers” were suddenly following me, like Chris Brogan<\/a> and Darren Rouse from Problogger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Carrie<\/a>I was writing a creative piece inspired by the “Balloon Boy” incident. As an experiment, I tweeted it in sentences for about 10 days. Elizabeth Searle, a great writer and past acquaintance from Oberlin College<\/a>, discovered it, and reposted it on her “Celebrities in Disgrace<\/a>,” blog, based on her novella, and soon a movie. Good experiment.<\/p>\n

I had been struggling with a topic for my first e-book, but ironically, Twitter (of all things!) saved me. I combined my best Twitter blog posts with experiences such as the “Balloon Boy” reprint, and voila. It’s not perfect, but it’s done, an important lesson for writers as well.<\/p>\n

The 4 tips again:<\/strong>
\n1. Observe More
\n2. Think Strategically
\n3. Be Interactive
\n4. Free Your Monkey Mind<\/p>\n

Have you found your voice on Twitter? What’s your story?<\/strong><\/p>\n
