A short week on Twitter to fundraise for the CFA, from a confused illustrator who doesn’t really get how to tweet.

@scbwi I would love to go in person one day. But living on the other side of the world it’s just brilliant to be able to access the incredible speakers from our lounge room while I draw! #SCBWISummerSpec #SCBWIArtists

Loving watching the videos later in a good time in Australia, tres inspiring!, thanks @scbwi #SCBWISummerSpec #SCBWIArtists

So it appears I’ve forgotten my twitter password and my account is not linked to any of my three email accounts. Operation delete Twitter has not gone well. Or is this a sign to stay?! 🤔

[Jess Racklyeft @JessRacklyeft]

It’s been real Twitter for my one week, but in a bid to not be online ALL the time I am signing off! Well done #authorsforfiries #AuthorsForFireys @NovaWeetman @EmilyGale 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

#AuthorsForFireys I’m joining Twitter for just a week (I don’t want to add another social medium to my world!) but what a wonderful idea @EmilyGale and @NovaWeetman - now to learn how to use Twitter real quick! 🤔
