• @danielucha1310 Really? That really surprises me. If one of the people I follow sends me an update, I try my best to respond. #
• @amilya that’s the first noodle of yours that I’ve read! #
• @The_Grilldog The only answer I can think of is that they don’t think they’d get enough exposure or advertising. #
• @kaaslaw Kinda drunk? Come on, admit! You’re three sheets to the wind, right? #
• @antica Yes, I hope Cobblestone will publish it as well. #
• #followfriday @MBartloff @amilya @LisaPietsch @HVLong @SensualStories @KCBOOKS @antica @TabyCat74 @HoodedMan @authorsara @KristenH_09 #
• @VictoriaDahl Wow! Dreaming about twitter? That’s funny! And strange! #
• Thanks for the #ff, RT’s and mentions! @kimsnarks @The_Grilldog @bookpassion @HoodedMan @nanachtoronto @historicals #
• @grilldog you’re not actually using it now, are you? Jeesh, poor grilldog! @the_grilldog #
• @The_Grilldog you forgot to give the bogus @grilldog a hind leg salute for not going by his own name and giving up yours! LOL #
• @ColleenLindsay Depends. Do they put their racism and bigotry in their books? #

• @kimsnarks Yeah, it makes you afraid to say anything, knowing some damn autobot will follow! I just ignore them! #
• Dang I lost another 50 followers! #
• Yeah, most likely spambots, but they made my numbers look better! LOL @HoodedMan @SensualStories @KCBOOKS @TabyCat74 #
• @kimsnarks That would be awful wouldn’t it? But very unlikely! #
• @dearauthor Scents and smells are very important in writing. She can’t smell, so she needs help with it. #
• @TeresaMedeiros OH NO! *gasp* What a faux pas! LOL #
• LOL SO true! @dearauthor RT @jenthegingerkid: Thousandaires smell like beer and Old Spice. #
• @dearauthor Because difference classes of men would smell differently. A laborer would smell like sweat, outdoorsman smell woodsy, etc etc #
• @bosskhouston I’m good! Been right here! LOL…How you been? #
• @bosskhouston Will do! You too! #
• Why is it when someone follows you, and you reply to their tweet, but they ignore you? Why are they following? #
• @HoodedMan Yeah, I can understand if you’re not following someone. But if one of your followers “talks” to you, shouldn’t you talk back? #
• @HVLong Thanks, I sent that to the wrong person. I meant to ask you! LOL…thanks for answering. #
• @HoodedMan I guess I just feel it’s a bit rude for someone who is following me to make a general statement that gets many responses, (cont) #
• @HoodedMan (cont) but they only respond to a select few. What is this? The lottery? LOL #
• @HoodedMan Makes me not want to respond them at all, so then what is the point of following them at all? I guess it confused me. #
• @wtfskh Yeah, otherwise it’s OK. The new AC is installed, so nice cool air is blowing on me! #
• @HoodedMan I guess I shouldn’t let it bother me, huh? LOL…I just hate being ignored! *stomps foot* #
• I had to read that a few times before I got it! LOL RT @amilya Noodle Thought: Cooperation can be spelled with 2 letters – WE #
• @TabyCat74 I guess it happens to everybody. I can see missing a few #ff but an actual response to one of your own tweets? *shakes head* #
• @wecomparebooks I’m actually trying to get one started. Do you have one? #
• @TabyCat74 LOL I guess that might be it. You respond to a stupid comment, and they don’t like your logic? That could be it! LOL #
• @TabyCat74 Though I try to make my comments constructive. Those usually inspire a debate. #
• @wecomparebooks There’s an idea. Good luck finding people. Never thought to do that. #
• @MBartloff If someone gives you one of theirs, your book will be listed under their publisher name. #
• @TabyCat74 LOL Oh, is that why you have so many followers? hmmmm… #
• @MBartloff BUT I don’t know if there is a diff between ebook and book ISBN numbers. #
• @MBartloff Ah, thx for the clarification. #

• @antica Yeah, it feels pretty good, especially since it’s a story I never thought I’d write. #
• @avidbookreader What would you do? Kick them? LOL #
• @avidbookreader Uh, you’re in Barnes & Noble and there are people sleeping? LOL #
• Arm swinging riddle solved? Was it a riddle? LOL http://bit.ly/y7M2L #
• @FreshFiction I don’t think cleaning is EVER done! Every time I downsize, I still find I have too much stuff! bah #

• @thecouponlady You should remove that link. Something very wrong with that site!! #
• Ridiculous! Hope the judge laughs it out of court! Waste of time! RT @mashable Woman Sued for $50,000 Over a Tweet – http://bit.ly/R3q4O #
• My new novel is almost done. Wrote the battle scene. All that’s left is the final sex scene. *meow* #
• @jeweleryguru har har har! You shouldn’t do that!! #
• @KristenH_09 Thanks! Of course, it’s nowhere near as long as one of yours, but I’m happy to make it to 50k! #
• @authorsara Didn’t you get the memo? Teenagers know everything!! LOL #
• @authorsara Hey, that says a lot that he’s nice to everyone else! He could be a terror to everyone! #
• Good tips! RT @jbakley Easy Ways to Distinguish Difficult Homophones http://bit.ly/Ia7XG #
• @jackiebarbosa LOL…you’re not to blame! Homophones is a weird word indeed! I actually checked on the spelling! LOL #

• @trelaina I still can’t believe she chose Jess over Dean! #
• @TeresaMedeiros Yeah, I hardly ever read the genre I write in. I love reading historical, but I would never write one. #
• @SensualStories That is unbelievable! That man needs to figure out how to use condoms. And go after women his own age! #
• @IntactByDefault “Put down the knife, step away from the baby.” Classic! lol So true @pennsays #i2 #
• That religious guy on True Blood was ridiculous last night. Putting adultery on the same level as incest and bestiality? wtf? lol #
• Wow, only 2 tending topics. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that few before. #
• Oh, OK, all the trending topics are back. That was wierd! #
• @Bookgirl96 Best break-up line? “Sorry, but I’ve decided I’m gay.” #
• @HoodedMan yeah, that would be strange, since people are always on twitter. I’ve never before seen less than 10 trending topics. Fluke! #

• @kaaslaw LOL There’s something to admit to! LMAO! #
• Dang, I do most of those! LOL RT @jbakley Pet Peeves of Fiction Editors http://bit.ly/vTUi6 #
• RT @publishingtalk RT @JordanMcCollum: The Top 7 Things Every Aspiring Author’s Website Must Have: http://bit.ly/18Tt0t #
• I just got an email from Cobblestone Press confirming my release date of August 21st for Painful Reflections! Woo hoo! I can’t wait!!! #
• Thanks! Less than a month away! I hope it does well! @PennyAsh @chrstinef #
• @Steenaholmes Thanks! I’ll be on pins and needles until then! lol #
• @BabyDefender I lost over 100 followers, but that’s not as bad as losing them all! Hope you get them all back. #
• @SmartBitches What is a BDB name generator? #
• LOL, uh yeah! Katie must not read her @ replies! RT @arianna_skye @katiebabs I think @mercedes_jj is a spammer LOL #
• @ErotiquePress Aren’t you trustworthy? #
• @ErotiquePress LOL So a stranger asked you to watch her purse? That is strange! #

• @dearauthor Never heard of issus. I’ve actually tried widgets that I had to remove immediately. Either slowed down site or just irritating. #
• @BrentSpiner Being a tweet expert has nothing to do with it. It IS tacky, regardless. #
• @BrentSpiner OK, so now I know this whole thing is BS! LOL…now his assistants are getting massages! Jeesh! #
• Great info on controversial topic. RT @jbakley To Circumcise or Not to Circumcise. That’s the question! http://bit.ly/D50JU #
• @historicals I guess that would depend on if it’s in a review or just a slam? We should support each other, but reviews need to be honest. #
• @historicals Yeah, I think so. I’ve written a few reviews already. #
• @LeahBraemel Definitely. We’re readers too, so we should be able to use our writing ability in reviews. @historicals #
• @laceysavage You mean it’s not? Darn! #
• @SensualStories Yep, there’s those full lips you told me about! What’s that goggling your cleavage? #
• @historicals I wrote a review of a pub. Had both good/bad qualities of book: http://newsblaze.com/story/20090603053119jude.nb/topstory.html #
• @laceysavage LOL You want to totally miss Friday? That’s usually my favorite day. #
• @nettagyrl I went to Comic Con once. Won’t ever do it again! Egads! #
• @laceysavage There you go, that sounds like a plan!! #
• @DakotaRae That sux! I’m getting a new A/C in a few days. Will be SO nice in this heat! #
• @MoriahJovan What’s OTT? #
• @MoriahJovan OTT = Over the top??? #
• LOL I’ll have to see what photos I get! RT @djR3Z Facebook Piles on the Guilt Before You Deactivate Your Account http://bit.ly/Upola #
• @MoriahJovan Oh, I’m too curious to see how @jane_l slams it. I guess I just like to laugh and be grossed out at the the same time. @rebyj #
• I don’t like that group. Let me know if there is another one soon! @wildchildeditor We are chatting at Love Rpmances Cafe today. Join us! #
• @rebyj Yes, she is, isn’t she? LOL I hate to miss #romfail! @MoriahJovan #
• @IntactByDefault After much research, I’ve decided that it should not be a parent’s choice, but the male himself. Babies cannot decide! #
• @rebyj LOL That is a terrible thing! I actually forgot but luckily could look up the #romfail hashtag and get caught up! Phew!! #
• @rileymagnus Oh yeah, i can handle a few small projects with 1 big project. Just no way to 2 or more big projects at same time. #
• Guess I was lucky with my pub! @jkoyanagi RT @jchutchins: How much say does an author have re: the cover of his/her book? http://is.gd/1JaeU #
• @kimsnarks I have come to the conclusion that Brent is a fake. #
• @kimsnarks Maybe Wil doesn’t know? Or doesn’t care? #
• @kimsnarks I too thought he was amusing but not so much with all the personal assistants “typing” for him. #
• @IntactByDefault What amazes me is the anger this debate incites in people, like that woman you tweeted. She thinks others are stupid, but #
• @IntactByDefault (cont) clearly she is the stupid one. The whole point of it being the baby’s choice is that he must be older to decide!duh! #
• @kimsnarks yeah, I was enjoying it until he brought in all that PA business, and now his valet and masseuse. Utter nonsense! LOL #
• @IntactByDefault That’s understandable. They don’t want to admit to themselves that they are missing something vital. I Don’t blame them! #
• @IntactByDefault I just don’t like how quickly someone feels others are stupid because they don’t agree with them. #
• @wilw I have a question. Do you know for sure that @brentspiner is legit or do you just follow him cause he’s funny? Or rather used to be? #
• @IntactByDefault Understandable. I’ve actually read about mothers who were horrified by what they had done when they saw their baby boy! #
• @IntactByDefault Definitely in the culture. I was a full pro circ until I did some research! Boy, were my eyes shoved open then! Jeesh! #
• @jkoyanagi Yeah, I’m at that point too. Battle scenes are the toughest, imagining blows, punches, etc. They are the worst! #writegoal #
• @LeahBraemel That’s a good question with no good answer. #
• @Zandervyne I don’t usually have wedding scenes in my books, but I don’t have trouble writing sex scenes…at least not yet. #
• @Zandervyne Undead at a wedding? Sounds interesting. LOL #
• Yeah, I got a bit misty on that last sentence! RT @katiebabs The reason why one writes romance per @TeresaMedeiros http://bit.ly/14wT15 #
• @katiebabs I’ll bet you were disappointed not to like her recent book, huh? #
• @katiebabs I meant from the person who loves her books. No one wants to read a favorite author and not like a book. #

• @limecello @c2s @trelaina @jenthegingerkid @MariahJovan I tweeted myself? Oh goodness no!!! I think I have fabulous hair too, but not green #
• @limecello donate it? Hell, I just cut mine off and threw it in the trash. LOL #
• @limecello My hair is usually fried when I cut it off. Wouldn’t do anyone any good. #
• @bookwhore Especially when you’ve waited for an hour and then it gets disconnected! I really love that! #
• *sigh* I need to take the car to Walmart this morning for an oil change and tire rotation. Hopefully it won’t take too long. #
• @BrentSpiner massages and personal assistants. Dang, this is starting to read like a soap opera. LOL #
• @limecello I don’t either, but my hair is so fine that I get a lot of split ends. Tangles easily too so brushing butchers it. LOL #
• @Pearl_ROOB Oh my, does she sexify that term? LOL @victoriadahl #
• @limecello Yeah, thick hair is probably easier to donate, since it makes better wigs. Mine just makes good hair balls. LOL #
• @Pearl_ROOB Well, she does say she is a bad girl lol #
• @Pearl_ROOB Someday, I guess I’ll need to read one of her books. I like sex and humor! @victoriadahl #
• @dearauthor Can you give us some examples? #

• @jamieharrington LOL…I know that!! I meant your avatar. You went from blonde, to green and now pink. I was wondering what next! #
• @jamieharrington Well, you look good in pink. I doubt I could pull it off! #
• @janoda Yeah, I do have a squidoo page. I just don’t maintain it much anymore #
• @kaaslaw Hmmm…for shade or to hang yourself from? LOL #
• @jamieharrington and I really like blue. Strange that I’ve never been tempted to try it on my hair…but then I wouldn’t want to look punk. #
• @kaaslaw Yeah, usually when you get what you think you need, you don’t really need it anymore. #
• @carlyphillips I think you typed the wrong Teresa! @theresamedeiros instead of @teresamedeiros. #
• @andrea_desherb LOL I’m sure New Yorkers have seen stranger! Probably just thought you were making a fashion statement. #
• @andrea_desherb LOL Yeah, I noticed that. It will probably drive her crazy that she’s can’t read the comments. #
• Good article! RT @TheBetterSexDoc Men and Porn Use: Why do Men like Porn? – http://bit.ly/bAab0 #
• Agh, I have almost a full page of faceless spam followers! Oh well, they don’t bother me as much as the pr0n bots. #
• @andrea_desherb Definitely makes you wonder if her husband is from Brazil. #
• @KenLudwig Yeah, anyone could be lurking behind those faceless brown boxes. *shudders* #
• @TeresaMedeiros I had a HUGE collection of Barbies, but I recently sold most in a garage sale. Had to downsize my stuff. #
• @TeresaMedeiros http://twitpic.com/b41az – LOL I think I have the three on the left. I love the Disney releases. Rapunzel is my fav! #
• @KenLudwig LOL I always misspell pr0n so the bot searches won’t find and follow me! #
• LOL RT @christinadodd @TeresaMedeiros: VIEW FROM MY LAPTOP: http://twitpic.com/b40qd _Your next hero? #
• @avidbookreader Yeah, I would never go with Sprint. Even Verizon is better. LOL #
• @andrea_desherb Yeah, and it’s impossible to watch everything you type. It’s just inevitable. *sigh* #
• @TeresaMedeiros http://twitpic.com/b44s5 – OH. MY. GOD! LOL #
• @avidbookreader I prefer T-mobile but my hubby says they don’t have as good of coverage. I never had problems with them. #
• I’m just killing time when I need to be working on my book. I’d like to make it through the first draft, so I can work on editing. *sigh* #
• @ErotiquePress LOL…that’s when the magic happens! #
• @ErotiquePress I tend to rush through the first draft. During editing is when I add in all the stuff I forgot the first time. #
• @carlyphillips LOL No harm done. Might have added a bit of excitement in the other Theresa’s day. #
• @ErotiquePress I couldn’t imagine writing in long hand. I wouldn’t be able to read it. LOL…I type everything. #
• Well, all this writing talk has inspired me to get offline and attempt a bit of writing. Only did 500 words yesterday. Let’s try to do more #
• I think I’ve had too much diet soda. I now have a headache. At least I wrote another 800 words. #
• @ErotiquePress I just couldn’t imagine taking the time to type it all in after I wrote it. I personally do my best writing in front of comp. #
• @KenLudwig You tell me. Did you get some new unsavory followers in the last few hours? LOL #
• @kaaslaw The new season of Dr. Who starts this Sunday on BBC. #
• @kaaslaw LOL…my hubby is a huge fan and got me interested in the new doctor. He’s pretty cool! #
• @MoriahJovan OMG! She actually doesn’t have a lime avatar? I’m speechless! I’m aghast! LOL @limecello #
• @kaaslaw Well, he WAS pretty creepy back then. I don’t care for the old shows at all! #
• @limecello LOL So now you’re just a disembodied torso. @MariahJovan @jenthegingerkid @c2s #
• @kaaslaw Well, hopefully you’ve seen a medical professional for such deep seated trauma. #
• @c2s @limecello @trelaina @judel @jenthegingerkid @MariahJovan Not even green hair? *gasp* #

• @reddywriting Don’t you just love that KISS? SO HOT! Probably the best I’ve seen on screen! #
• @jane_l Does the book take place under water? LOL #
• @avidbookreader Eight arms? how about eight tongues? *major daydreaming* LOL #
• @reddywriting LOL yeah, could you imagine that scene? Just keep kissing and kissing, stroking, caressing, kissing (ignore camera) LOL #
• @jane_l Either way, I’m looking forward to #romfail to learn more about such a weird story idea. #
• @danielucha1310 I haven’t used scents in my writing, but I’m going to try with new story. Might be a stretch but Ill try. Vanilla is good #
• @avidbookreader LOL…aren’t we all that enjoy #romfail? #
• @MoriahJovan Really, I wouldn’t miss it. Too damn curious how that would work in a romance! LOL #
• @MoriahJovan LOl Well, I use the term very loosely! I guess we should start calling it bad erotica? #
• @reddywriting No, I’ve never tried watching Weeds. Is it any good? #
• @MoriahJovan Well, yeah, that could work. #
• @laceysavage Sometimes I feel like they do write themselves. #
• Greedy voice actors. They’ll lower their demands now LOL RT @bunifah They’re replacing ALL of Futurama’s voice talent?!? http://bit.ly/VNPMa #
• @kaaslaw Oh, did you finally get a new job that starts in 14 days? Congrats!!! #
• @laceysavage LMAO! I didn’t say always! Just sometimes. #
• @kaaslaw LOL Yeah right! Like you read all my posts! Congrats on the job though! My hubby is still looking for a transfer. Hard! #
• @KwanaWrites Dang, I need to mop the floor. I just don’t want to! #
• @kaaslaw LMAO…well, if you want me to see all YOUR posts, then make sure to add @judel to all of them! #
• @kaaslaw And talk about timing. Just got an email from my hubby that he might be offered a job in Miami! #
• @TeresaMedeiros LOL…are they screaming with glee too? *snicker* #
• @RayBlanco Possibly not, but would I have an affair? Hmmm…. #
• @kaaslaw I was raised in Florida. Didn’t really want to go back, but I HAVE to get out of California! The economy is better in Florida. #
• Wild Child Publishing sure has changed a bunch since I wrote a few short stories for it! Wow!! @wildchildeditor Don’t even recognize it! #
• @TeresaMedeiros http://twitpic.com/b060y – Talk about inspiration! LOL Though I’m afraid he would distract me. #
• @KwanaWrites Not quite in the editing stage, but at least I’m over half way done with the first draft! #
• @wildchildeditor Good thanks! Don’t write short stories much anymore though. It doesn’t look like any are on your site? Only ebooks now? #
• @Karenknowsbest dang, he has high ratings on all his books! Wow! #
• @BrentSpiner I’m pretty sure they’re all “celebrities”…though that term is used loosely these days! #
• @Karenknowsbest OMG! That is too funny! Hundreds of reviews by him? That is too desperate. LOL #
• @kaaslaw Yeah, and the weather isn’t even that great anymore. Tired of paying the “sun tax”! We can get more in Florida than here too! #
• @avidbookreader Yeah, that’s isn’t asking for much! Why keep reading otherwise? #
• LOL Was just reading about him! @jbakley Authors Promoting and Reviewing Their own Work http://bit.ly/wQEMq #
• @kaaslaw And getting more expensive. Our sales tax just went to 9.75%! That is disgusting on top of a state tax too! FL has no state tax!!! #
• Jude’s Forum: Drew’s Return – WIP: I am pleased to announced that I am over half way through writin.. http://bit.ly/yttGX #
• @jamieharrington And it always will! At least the online pubs are more personalized when they reject you. LOL #
• @jamieharrington Well, at least that’s positive…means they actually took the time to read your submission. #
• @jamieharrington BTW what color hair you trying next? Purple could be cool…or blue! #
