How to edit a tweet: Copy the tweet with the error, then delete tweet. Start a new tweet, paste the old one, fix the error, tweet. Works best if you catch the error soon.

@zortizfuentes @92ndStreetY We just did that with Yiyun—for free! What a gift. To A Public Space: Thank you. #APStogether

@KJBoldon @RachelYoder Oh, I’m sad: you missed #Middlemarch21?

[Anne Sovik @RunningText2]

@jpschmader It was recorded. Don’t know how to access it. Maybe we’ll be informed in a later email.

@John73014818 @emilyvivas @APublicSpace I’m wishing for a group read sometime of Don Quixote. Started it and discovered how funny it is. The first modern novel, it has been said.

@jgirardeau22 I agree that we should consider a new hashtag. Expand the acronym? #APStogether

@MelissaEJordan @KJBoldon @APublicSpace @alexanderchee Take a French class? A beginning course would get you pretty far with the French that Brontë uses. And you’d have more fun in Paris.

@KJBoldon I think I have that many copies of Moby Dick. For the various illustrations, mostly.

@zortizfuentes Farewell. Or hasta la vista, if I adopt Instagram.

[Anne Sovik @RunningText2]

@dimevets Maybe too esoteric for many readers?

[Anne Sovik @RunningText2]

@John73014818 @KJBoldon But the casting has to agree with my imagined characters! And yours! And hers, and theirs! So how’s that going to work?

Lucy is in charge of her life; she’s her own boss; she has the means to support herself, a place to live, and a guaranteed basic income; and she knows the one she loved loved her. I call that a happy ending. #apstogether

@KJBoldon @v__s_ Thanks for elucidating for us who Charlotte is writing to. We can see her sense of humor here. (I know it should be “whom,” but . . . )

[Anne Sovik @RunningText2]

@Miss_Mainwaring It will be revealed to you.

@AlisonJaye If you catch the error early enough, you can just delete the tweet and retweet it revised.

@wain_scotting Good idea, although I don’t have access. Watched the Croatia-Brazil game yesterday from the dentist’s chair. Not a method I’d recommend.

[Anne Sovik @RunningText2]

@JosepMRoig !!! Love the reflections.

[Anne Sovik @RunningText2]

@MoMcGran Such a comparison!
