My Twitter Resistance Journey June 2013: Day #1

Day #1 Numbers

Followers:  1,784

Tweets:  1,902

I am not fond of twitter.  I don’t get it.  I have had my twitter since 2008 and as of this writing I only have 1,784 followers, 1,902 tweets, and 1,895 people that I am following.  Now compare that to my 5000 Facebook friends and my 7,936 fans on the NACWE Fanpage www.facebook.com/NACWE.  Along with my 15,173 video views on my YouTube page www.inspiredwomentv.com.   You can do the math.  I am a twitter slacker.

So in order to get my ducks in a row tweeting, I know, horrible but funny, I am taking my challenge public.  Basically this is how I force myself to get anything done. I post it on facebook and that makes it real.  And to add to the double whammy, I am in a blog challenge from one of my coaches this month so I am committed to blogging 3 times a week in June.  What better way to cover both than to tweet and blog about my tweeting.  Anybody confused yet?  J

I have plenty to tweet.  I have my book launch this month.  Our live NACWE conference is coming in September and tickets go on sale this month.  I am never at a loss for words.  Believe me.  I can talk.  Maybe it is just that I feel like I talk too much to fit it into 140 characters.  Or maybe I am resisting the number part of counting my characters.  I have a resistance to numbers too, but that will need to be another month.

Maybe it is that I don’t feel like I know the language and I can’t hear.  I feel like I am watching from the side of the room and need hearing aids.  Or like I am sitting on the bench at the junior high dance.  We all know that feeling.  Heck, I know that feeling now as a 40 year-old single Christian woman trying to figure out the dating world.  That might be even more complicated than twitter.

I want to invite you to come on my Twitter Resitance Journey with me during June of 2013.  I am good at spilling my guts, or “blurting” as my friends lovingly call it.  So why not blurt in a tweet?

Here we go.  And remind me again, what is a hashtag?  J
