Y’all, I have a confession to make- while I am a social
media guru of sorts for many people, today I did something that kind of stunned
me, and it may you, too: I deleted my Twitter account. Actually, I also deleted
Fort Worth Writer’s Boot Camp’s Twitter account, too.
I want to say it was a political statement due to the
overuse of a certain highly powerful US politician overusing the bejeebus out
of it, but really, I never could follow it. I never found the platform
understandable (really, it seemed too all over the place to make sense), so I
never actually went on it to “tweet” anything. I would cross-post from
Instagram for my personal account and from Facebook for my business account,
but I just never really got into Twitter. It also seems that Twitter never got
into me. I never had any re-tweets, nor were very many of my posts liked. I am
much more proficient at my favorite social media platforms- Facebook an
Instagram.
The reality of the whole thing is that I just don’t think I
was meant to tweet. Many of my writer friends will be horrified to think that I would drop a very important social media platform, which will obviously change the way the world finds me. Really, though, I don’t feel like I’ve lost out on anything. I don’t even think
anyone will notice that I’ve gone anywhere. At least, they wouldn’t notice
except that I’m posting this right here. Also, I will be sharing on Facebook.
