To Twitter or not to Twitter, that is my question.

Do you tweet? I don’t. I know it’s the rage, but quite honestly, I can’t imagine having to overcome one more distraction in my day. As it is, if I visited every blog I follow, every day, I’d literally spend more time blogging than writing. And while I’d enjoy myself immensely, because I LOVE to blog, what is my overall goal? To get published. Therefore, I need ample time away from the Internet to brainstorm, plan, write, edit, write, re-work, write, revise, write, and prepare what I’ve written for submission.

And yet I need to network and get my name out there, too. So where do I draw the line? At Twitter.

Is this a wise course of action? I’m hoping maybe some of you can help me figure that out.

What is your experience with Twitter? Other than the social aspect of it, how do you feel it helps a new writer’s career? And if you’re not on Twitter all day, every day, is it worth being on it at all?
