We want to be understood, and understand. True that there are more than a few people selling things on twitter. Get rich quick schemes, books, blogs, ads... hell pick something and it's being sold. What i like is that when I strip out the pitch (mine included) and really chat with those 10/20/50 people I have connected with I get what we all look for: Acceptance. I am beginning to believe that social sites like twitter and facebook, et al are there only so we can share our experiences, our thoughts, aspirations, and dreams. As a creature I think we all want to know what everyone else experiences so we can value our own experience against something else. How else can we determine if what we experienced is sane or not. Just my thoughts. Wishing you Well Robert E We all search for acceptance at the end of the day, acceptance by our mother/father/spouse/boss/children and finally most everyone that breaths.

I researched Twitter and all its resources and figured this would be a way to connect. And, without realizing, I became addicted to Twitter. Like you I have several books & scripts written. They sit alone in a drawer (on floppy disks) or on paper in boxes in a closet. And, like you, I figured to find an agent & or publisher and just submit them year after year while all the while working on new material. Ha Ha. The sad part is I can't stop writing whether published on not. I'm obsessed with what is hidden in my head. Much luck to you and I'll read you on Twitter. This is funny… and exactly my plan.

I've met some of the most supportive writers I know there. And then there are the multitudes who want to help me make money at home... Between Twitter and the blogosphere, my free moments seem to be eaten with alarming rapidity, but the community certainly does make me smile more often than not. And that's enough for me.
