Yes, Daniel, I know you haven't the foggiest who I am, but I'm covered with chocolate and am waiting for you to lick me clean...like a cat. )
Share on TwitterWhat are six things you could never do without?
My computer, working batteries, coffee, did I mention coffee?, endless supply of notebooks and pens

What's your favorite Twitter app?
All of them. :)
Twitter or Facebook?

What was the funniest trend you've seen?
#ROCKYTOPSTOPSHERE in reference to the University of Kentucky Wildcats football victory over Tennessee. AWESOMENESS!
What feature should Twitter add?
It's already allowing apps to be used and links to FB and Blogger. I'm not really an innovator in that particular area.
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Daniel Craig.
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?

Maurice Benard, Port Charles reside Mob Boss Sonny Corinthos from General Hospital.
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Yes, but it was so long ago I can't remember their twitter handle. I was getting over the line comments in my twitter feed.
Why should we vote for you?
I want you too, nah, because when another writer asks me for help I give it to them.

How do you make your tweets unique?
I tend to be RT'er of fellow authors and have cultivated twitter friendships. But every now again I can be funny too.
What inspires you to tweet?
Funny stuff, angry stuff, smart stuff. I find stuff in general to be useful in inspiring me. Although Kentucky Basketball sneaks in there to.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Nope. Did get called out for promoting my books once. Duh, I have e-books, how else am I supposed to promote. lol

Keep It Simple Stupid.
How long can you go without a tweet?
I go in stretches. Sometimes long stretches. And others I can have a detailed conversation.
What question are we not asking here that we should?
My favorite celebrity is...too many to count.
How do you imagine Twitter changing?

Bob Mayer. A fellow writer and indie publisher he helps everyone and his writers get a 50% royalty rate.
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
I'm going to say it's a tie between @celebbuzzz and the soap opera fans I follow. Those ladies are outrageous.
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That it will make you a real estate millionaire. That's really not happening for many people these days.

It's either whatever strikes my fancy or if I'm promoting a release.

To help my pitiful filmmaking career lol. Now I'm a published author.

Yes, it's allowed me to connect to writers, actors, filmmakers, runners, and has helped me build a platform for my writing career.
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
I understand why they're not on there, but celebrities are great fun when they interact with their fans.
How will the world change in the next year?
Some things will be better, some will be worse, and technology will continue to advance.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Spam Marketers
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
If some jackass hasn't pressed the red button in the White House I'm assuming either we'll adapt with the times or be angry old people.
