#SampleSunday is a twitter event, to share reading samples between writers (and readers). IF YOU'VE NEVER PARTICIPATED BEFORE, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. POSTING A TWEETABLE LINE INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF MAXIMUM RETWEETAGE1. Links to your samples MUST be shortened via url shortening servers such as http://tinyurl.com or http://bitly.com (bit.ly will track your clicks) 2. Add the hashtag #SampleSunday. #SS stands for a lot of other things but not sample sunday. 3. Add your twitter handle so you can track your retweets and so readers will know it’s your sample. 4. Add RT to the front of your tweet 5. Most importantly, keep your tweet to 130 characters or less to allow for maximum retweetage Most regular #samplesundayers schedule their tweets twenty or thirty minutes apart to avoid spamming their followers. Both tweetdeck and hootsuite schedule tweets. They will not accept repeat tweets, however. You need to change them slightly, if you are scheduling your own tweets. Not a good idea to put "My new..." or "Read my..." as the tweet will be going out from NOT YOU! Few people have the time to edit yours for you, so don't be surprised if you are skipped, if you don't get the tweet right. But practice makes better! For erotica, please keep the tweet appropriate for the under 18’s.______________________________ Here's mine: #SampleSunday - Love among the dunes on Cape Cod http://amzn.to/AytYLr @Kathleen01930 #romance #valentines #IAN1 #contest #kindle |

People have been dropping out because there are those who post a Tweet line but then don't reciprocate. I've scheduled everybody up to here but so far only 2 people have re-Tweeted my line.
