Some more excellent advice:
One event took over the twitterverse for six hours Sunday night...The Oscars (and Angelina Jolie's leg) Although editor Alvina Ling's #fakelivetweeting was far more interesting:

And as for this tweet by agent Amy Boggs...no comment :)

Aprilynne Pike was doing that to celebrate her latest release too. She let Tweeples give her page numbers and she picked the lines. I thought that was cool.
I would TOTALLY be down with Fey and Poehler as hosts next year. Or Chris Rock. Or Jason Segel (because I LOVE HIM).
Love all the great writing advice!
These posts are just so fun. I was excited to hear about JK Rowling's book this week, it made my month :)
