Well, this particular favorite tweets covers a whole two, almost three week span, because I got so busy planning and then taking a short trip, that I didn’t get them up. Sorry about the “lateness”, but it is seriously jam packed with tons of links, so hopefully that makes up for it. If you are interested in older posts of Tweets for Writers and Round Ups you can either search the blog with the search box on the right or try looking under the Tweets for Writers category.

If you know of a tweet/post I might have missed this week, please feel free to leave the link in the comments. Popularity: 23% [?] I tried the new site that everyone is tweeting about “I Write Like…” because I was curious. I was shocked at my result for one of my completed manuscripts. After pasting a portion of the first chapter, I was surprised to see this: So after I checked that out, I pasted a blog post in, and got this one: So, after seeing these two results, it makes me wonder what the algorithm is that is used to determine these results. I just wish I knew what it was. At any rate, if there was any truth to either of these, I would be a very proud writer, because they are both amazing and gifted. The Stephen King one scares me a little because I don’t think my mind is as demented as his :p Analyze your writing and let me know what you get! Popularity: 29% [?]
So where are the Tweets for Writers? Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten. In fact, if you see the one that will be going up this Monday, July 19, 2010 you would be absolutely amazed. It is so jam packed full, I thought about breaking it up into two parts, but I’m keeping it as one. So as my previous post mentioned, my daughter is off pretending to be a college freshman at only 13, so I’m missing her like crazy, but she is having so much fun. She loves her English Professor and the writing class she is taking and I am still really jealous. LOL Anyway, because of all the stuff we have been dealing with, and all the things that are going on, I didn’t get my TfW up lately, but on Monday, I swear it will be worth it. Just wanted to make sure that you know to watch for it. Popularity: 19% [?]
You can learn more about the program here, but the gist of the program is this: The Joseph Baldwin Academy offers highly talented students a head start on their future university careers by allowing them to spend three weeks as college freshmen: they move into a residence hall, adapt to living with a roommate, eat dorm food, make new friends, attend a college level class, and work with Truman State’s faculty. It was actually really awesome to see everything, and to be on a college campus, set up her dorm room, eat lunch with her before we left in the college cafeteria (which I swear resembles a restaurant) and learn about her class. She is taking a writing course. Yes, I am proud. She is hoping to get selected again next year also – next year she wants to take a Psychology course. This kid is definitely going places. Anyway, I’m just trying to hang on by a thread. She’s gone for three weeks, and I am dying and we are less than 48 hours into this. Trying to distract myself with anything I can, but its not as easy as I thought it would be. She did call Saturday night and talk to us for a bit, so that was comforting (plus she sounded great which made it SO much easier!) She’s making friends, having fun with her roommate, her dorm buddies and a few other friends from her district that got into the program also. So I know she is having a blast, I just feel like a mother bird does, when one leaves the next. Interesting (but very true) conversation my husband and I had. Me: Well, I suppose we have to let her have wings to fly. I know that’s what we have to do as good parents. Mike: Not at 13 we’re not supposed to! LOL I think I feel his pain. It’s so quiet around here without her, and the other kids have no idea what to do with themselves. Brie and I have been down in my scrapbook room cranking out cards to send her so she gets mail nearly everyday. It’s kept us busy, but it’s not enough. If I am quieter than usual. That is why.
