A little good news for me and rather a leap forward.
Don't ask me why but if I'm using my laptop on WiFi connection she will not link straight to the twitter website, which is more than a little annoying as it means I've become months behind in my posting.
However, I've just discovered to today that I can access my twitter account through all the e-mails they have been sending me.
Not only has this meant that I've been able to finally catch up with my long neglected twitter posts (granted only through retweets but some is better than none) I've also managed something I've never done before.
I started following WillowRaven, a fellow artist that specialises in book cover illustration, for which she sent me a thank you note over twitter and asked me what I was working on at the moment. I think my reply of 'Four books, twelve paints, a script and trying to busk my work. As an artist & a writer I don't sleep much' must have impressed her as I pretty much instantly had back 'I know the feeling'.
I've managed to start a thread on twitter!
O.K. it doesn't sound like much if you are a techno-genius like some of my friends but I, however, am not. In fact you could say that I am a techno-idiot so for me it is a big deal that I've managed to finally pull this off. Especially as I had no idea what was really meant by 'threading' on Twitter. It's been one of those things where I've recognised it when I've seen it and done it.
Also, as a heads up, I've spoken with an art busker in Norwich and it appears that even the cities have no set authority for those of us who are just busking our stuff. So the general consensus of opinion seems to be as long as we keep ourselves quiet and don't make trouble for anyone then you can just get on and do it, so expect to see me in Dereham sometime soon.
