Brevity of Twit Release Info:
Hello World! No really. This isn’t the rote WordPress
hello, it’s me, author KD Rose saying “Hi.”
I’ve been absent awhile due to illness and now I’m back. I’m here, maybe
not running with the bulls but at least hobbling with the um, well, chronically
pretty darn god-awful ill. But enough
about that. I’m all about keeping it positive (except when I’m not). But see-
things are looking up! Literally. This is a view from my yard so life can’t be
all bad.
Add to that a wonderful husband,
family, and even a wonderful publisher and I have a reason to dig out the old
keyboard again. Ok, it was actually replace the new wireless keyboard which
didn’t work worth squat with the old wired up keyboard that still works just fine,
but that’s technical life for a plebian.
I’m posting on this date to mention
that despite everything I have a new book coming out on May 21st, 2015- exactly
one short week from now. Titled The Brevity of Twit, this humorous book is
everything I used to be. Using the Twitter forum as a scroll, The Brevity of
Twit yields humor, insight, and poetic vigor in a light read that will both
lift your spirits and make you ponder. So take a gander. My publisher decided
to publish it despite the absence of the entire being of the author (me). What
more can an author ask for? The book will be on Amazon and other neat sites.
I’ll post the links once the book is live.
In the meantime I’m going to
un-pause and reinvigorate. It’s been awhile since I’ve sipped the creative
nectar and I’m sure it will be as sweet, tangy, and ironic as I remember.
A witty walk through the minefield
of tweeting, twitter, and the many uses we have socially for it. From serious
poetry to a scandalous take on improper grammar, this fast paced take on the
brevity of chatting in 140 characters or less will have you falling in love
with tweeting all over again.
Trending
Trending is when thousands of people
across a state, country, countries, or continents, (depending on your settings)
all decide to tweet about the same topic. This usually involves hashtags, a
topic listed under "Trending," and many, many people looking for
their moment in the spotlight. Generally, trends are about something happening
on social media, the news, movies, music, or taking place in the world at the
moment. New releases, and celebrities often dominate. Celebrity deaths and
death hoaxes also make their appearance. For example, as I write, #royalbaby is
trending because that news was just announced and 3— not 1, not 2, but 3
trending subjects are about 1Direction. There is also a #HappyBDayCamCam trending
about someone named Cameron Dallas who has 3.4 Million Twitter followers, and I
don't know who he is because, well, I'm old.
Not that these aren't THE MOST
IMPORTANT THINGS EVER, but occasionally, just occasionally something will trend
that is interesting to writers, or nerds, or writer-nerds like me. Sometimes
these are more local trending subjects, but occasionally even God arises and
says- "I am TIRED of Chris Brown, and Margaret Atwood is not tweeting
today— Let the Higgs-Boson Particle be found!" Then suddenly science nerds
and writer nerds and wordplay nerds form a bond. Higgs-Boson trends, writers
have a field day, scientists nash their teeth at all the incorrect explanations
going around, thunder claps, rivers overflow, and for a brief moment, even
science makes twitter news.
Higgs-Boson Tweets:
•Higgs Boson- "The Force is
strong with that one."#laymangeekbutIcanthelpit •Ok Kids: Higgs, Top Quark, Ultra High Energy Ray, TOE. In that order. I'll be waiting for a report at dinner. Higgs Boson
•Wow- articles are now out saying US sees stronger hints of Higgs. Way to grab the spotlight for a dead collider. CERN is EU. Higgs Boson
•True- the US found hints of Higgs Boson too, but wasnt up to more so it was kind of expected from CERN. Atom Smasher suffers collider envy.
•They might have found Higgs Boson. They might have not. Schrodinger is happy.
•Oh my- Higgs is now trending without Boson. Seriously!
•People who can make Higgs Boson jokes return my faith in humanity.
•Higgs Boson? How quaint. Where's the (S)top Quark? What- did I just suck all the air out of CERN? Oh no wait that's another experiment.
•Higgs Boson Why Science Works: There is no religion around supersymmetry.
