- How not to win new fans or the admiration of your peers. It’s one thing to talk like this if you are indisputably awesome. But if you are not, you should probably dial it down a bit.

- How to let your agent earn his or her money. I already knew this. I’ve found that taking every single career question or publishing issue to my agent, first, has not failed me.

- It’s not only YA writers who are addicted to the Twitter. Some stuff other author tweeters are up to: Susan Orlean is tired of her Sirius station, Tayari Jones lost a pair of shoes in her apartment, and Colson Whitehead is busy revising but not so busy that he can’t find time to tweet about Lost. That gives me a strange sense of hope concerning my revision and America’s Next Top Model.

- Considering our reputation as a pasty people who spend every moment with our noses in books, a looootttt of writers are really into college basketball.

- Blogging is not, as I wondered, dead. It’s just different, and based on the number of responses and RTs on Twitter, I wasn’t the only one wondering. Thanks for all your comments here, there, everywhere. I’m glad I mentioned it, because now I don’t feel quite so Major Tom-y about it…floating in a most peculiar way, with my protein pills and helmet, etc.

Twitter is Educational.

Be fruitful and multiply. See you back here next week.
