A lot of people ask me how I manage to be on Twitter so often and still get my work done. “Isn’t it a time suck?” they ask. My answer is always “not for me.”
Do I spend a lot of time on Twitter? Yeah, I do. But for the most part I think it’s time well spent. First off, I have met countless really awesome people. I’m a very social person but writing is an extremely isolating profession, so for me this is huge. Many people who I originally met on Twitter are now people I consider friends. Some I’ve gone on to meet in real life and others I hope to meet in person someday soon.
