As many of you have seen on Twitter, I have opened a new Twitter Domain (@Writers_Life<\/strong>) and started a new hashtag (#Writers_Life<\/strong>) because we all know we need more writer hashtags, right?\u00a0Well, it helps me keep things straight.<\/p>\n

My shiny new Twitter Domain is burning rubber. It has been active for five days and my good friends are piling in along with several new followers. If you haven’t been there yet, stop by and follow me.<\/p>\n

What Will I Post in <\/strong>The Writer’s Life?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

In January 2010, I began#WriterlbsOff<\/a>. I\u00a0will continue with @Writer’s_Life<\/strong> and #Writers_Life<\/strong>. I will be tweeting about creativity and psychology related to the writer’s life and interesting tidbits about our personal experiences of being a writer. In the future, I plan to interview writers about their creative process.<\/p>\n

On my website ABOUT<\/a> page, I said…<\/p>\n

The Writer\u2019s Life<\/em><\/strong> is my regular series that looks at the life of writers from a personal angle; our challenges, our quests, and what drives us to create.<\/p>\n

I draw from my psychotherapy background, and my own writing life, to write posts to inspire writers to unleash their creativity. I will wave my magic wand to\u2026<\/p>\n

~Amaze <\/strong>you with explorations into the mysteries of the creative process,<\/p>\n

~Inspire<\/strong> you with ways to animate your inner muses, or at least throw a lasso around \u2018em when they try to run away, and,<\/p>\n

~Excite<\/strong> you to embrace the wild, wacky, scary, bizarre, frustrating, blissful, ecstatic experience of being a writer, as I try to do the same.<\/p>\n

What Will I be Tweeting with @Writers_Life?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Starting now, and through the summer, in addition to my regular Tweeting of current information, I want to Retweet\/Tweet archival content that is relevant to creativity and the writer’s life (about 1-2 Tweet a day). This is content that deserves more exposure and is always helpful to read again if you have seen it. I think it is a shame that so much great content flies by our online window so quickly.\u00a0I will be digging the archives and tweeting content from places like these, and many more:<\/p>\n

Psychology Today
\nTED Talks
\nTalent Development Resources
\nScientific American
\nZen Habits
\nLateral Action
\nABCcreativity
\nisca media – Making Me
\nThe Writer’s Funhouse
\nTime to Write
\nCreative Something
\nMildly Creative
\nI Geek for Creativity
\nDose of Creativity
\nSpilling Ink – Creativity Blog
\nEric Maisel, Julia Cameron, Natalie Goldberg & other authors writing about the writer’s life<\/p>\n

Multimedia, Multidisciplinary Creativity: <\/strong>Our inspiration comes from many places. I know I am inspired by\u00a0what others have created in other fields of art. I will tweet photography, dance, music, art and anything amazingly creative that I find.<\/p>\n

Creativity Gone Wild: <\/strong>I will feature a video each week that represents “creativity gone wild” with stunts, advertisements and amazing creative projects others have done.<\/p>\n

How Do I Use The Hashtag – #Writers_Life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

#Writers_Life<\/strong> can be used in several ways (that I can think of now) and will hopefully expand into many uses by me and my followers. I love to watch the creative expansion of the collective Twitter consciousness!<\/p>\n

There is no special chat time – it is a hashtag for anytime. I will use it to retweet relevant content, to announce posts of The Writer’s Life,<\/em> to tweet content I find and to invite everyone to my virtual parties.<\/p>\n

I would also love to see #Writers_Life<\/strong> be a place that writers feel free to use to discuss how they are doing with their writing & creative life. Think of it as our own personal virtual coffeehouse for writers where we can talk about our personal triumphs and challenges, support each other and have a little fun to boost our mood. You know I love it when wild groups of writers hijack my comments and have wild parties.<\/p>\n

When we have an issue to discuss, get fed up with our writing, want to celebrate a victory or just chat & goof off, someone can initiate a visit to #Writers_Life<\/strong> and we can all hang out for awhile.<\/p>\n

I know this will help me chat with my friends easier – I am getting overwhelmed by my homefeed and even my groups. This way we can find the tweets easier.<\/p>\n

Imagine Tweets like this:<\/p>\n

My muse has left me, if anyone sees him, please tell him to come home, I have chocolate #Writers_Life<\/em><\/p>\n

Today was a crappy writing day, anyone want to go to #Writers_Life for coffee? <\/em><\/p>\n

Mr. Fluffy and Jezebel are starting their own muse for hire service – anyone want to give it a try? #Writers_Life<\/em><\/p>\n

You get the idea.<\/p>\n

I hope you will enjoy my expanded tweeting and please come over for coffee anytime!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
