Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-08-02
- Another solid novel writing session this morning. Feeling pleased with progress and enjoying creative process. Not sure where it's headed. #
- I borrowed new Wonder Woman graphic novel from library. Not my usual fare but I was intrigued that Jodi Picoult had written it. Enjoyed it. #
- Good that #cadbury is doing Fair Trade stuff, @Browners, but did you know about this? http://bit.ly/l6YmB #
- Please help me make my @dryjuly target of $AUS300. Only four more days to go! https://www.dryjuly.com/profiles/caitlinfitzsimmons #
- I'm planning to celebrate the end of @dryjuly with a nice glass of wine. If I reach the target, I'll make it champagne instead. #
- I am more than half way to my $AUS300 target, thanks mainly to a generous donation from my husband. http://bit.ly/XksMM #
- RT @miafreedman Just posted an inspirational guest post from a girl about her sister……enjoy http://bit.ly/YVd00 [A beautiful story] #
- I've installed some ad units on http://www.roamingtales.com and I'm happy with the way it's turned out. Some of the ads actually look interesting! #
- Is it possible to turn off the weight-loss ads though? It seems to be Adsense default whenever they can't find something specific to serve. #
- I now have separate RSS feeds for my travel and food content in case anyone is only interested in one or the other. http://www.roamingtales.com #
- I am inching closer to my @dryjuly fundraising goal – tally stands at $195 and goal is $300. I won't beat Tom Allen with that amount though. #
- If just one in 10 of my 1,547 followers sponsored me $1 I would exceed my goal! Thanks to @KathrynElliott and @dietgirl. http://bit.ly/XksMM #
- I agree that 'staycation' is a silly word but I'm more sick of people complaining about it than the word itself. #travel #
- Now that's interesting. I just got hooked up with Feedburner and it seems that most of my RSS subscribers are doing it through Friend Feed. #
- Had coffee with @artistatlarge earlier today (missed @nancydbrown, sadly). Now in local cafe, working on novel. Managed 500 words so far. #
- Lovely @penelopetrunk post on saying no to opportunities & a reunion with the farmer. Her writing gets better & better. http://bit.ly/ByKya #
- Fascinating article on creativity in Scientific American: http://bit.ly/4npVsm #
- What do you think of my new profile pic? I have been Mad Men-ized. (I don't actually smoke but they did back then). #
- If anyone else wants a Mad Men avatar, see here: http://www.amctv.com/originals/madmen/madmenyourself/ #
- .@RLVT The butterfly was for an Amnesty International campaign – you can get one for yourself if you like. http://www.amnesty.org.au/comfort #
- This study on creative thought could have implications for science fiction, fantasy and historical fiction writers. http://bit.ly/4npVsm #
- I do like yoga but I'm beginning to suspect that I might like pilates even better. #
- .@ourman You don't know Ted Talks? Oh my – I think you'll really like it. Mostly video, not audio. http://www.ted.com #
- I have just bought $5 tickets ($9 with fees) to see the San Francisco Giants through @goldstar. http://bit.ly/YZSfZ #
- I recommend avoiding the @epicurious review of Julie & Julia movie until after the movie – it contains spoilers. http://tinyurl.com/nzn4ju #
- When did libraries get so noisy? There's a kid squealing in next room reverberation of any footsteps or conversation, and loud machinery. #
- Domestic violence shelters in California expected cuts but not this. Arnie just axed ALL state funding. Terrible! http://bit.ly/2TXGn5 #
- .@paulwiggins I know, hey! Probably the same people who don't know what year Jane Austen danced the Mona Lisa. #
- Health care reform is being derailed by jackleg lobbyists and spin doctors spending billions to keep the status quo. Sad. @definethis #
- It's so easy to fritter away the hours on Twitter. Logging off to get stuff done, back later! #
- RT @evarley Time to vote for the @LDNTwestival charity for Sept! Read up on the charities & vote now: http://3.ly/Q9z (pls RT!) #
- I have cast my vote in favour of @YouthNet (where @tashjudd works). Who do you want Twestival charity pounds to go to? http://3.ly/Q9z #
- My new approach to #followfriday and today's recommendations: http://bit.ly/sS51K #
- An all-American experience awaits me – hubby and I are off to a ball game (baseball) tonight. I wonder if the hot dog is compulsory? #
- RT @elephantcloud It seems apt that fritter and Twitter should rhyme! #
- My morning was reasonably productive for both professional and blogging measures. Novel writing is next on the agenda – starting at 3.30pm. #
- Oh no! Skype under threat, according to this @charlesarthur article. http://bit.ly/1RkrbV I rely on Skype. #
- The cafe is playing Celine Dion's "I am a lady". I'm going to have to go home if they keep it up. #songsihate #
- Fight Twitter spammers: http://bit.ly/177bx2
@problogger # - Astound Cable (my broadband provider) truly lives up to its name. I have nothing but good to say about them – inspired to write a blog post. #
- I can't find cottage cheese in the shops here. Does it exist in the US and if so, does it have another name? (Lumpy white, low-fat cheese). #
- Slap-up meal at the Blue Plate in the Mission in San Francisco. Table in lovely lamplit garden. Used voucher from Green Zebra booklet. #
- Cool light monsters from @liatach. http://bit.ly/9jd9J #
- Enjoyed Basque country chardonnay with dinner tonight. Hooray that @dryjuly is over! Not too late to sponsor me though. http://bit.ly/XksMM #
