The #TWiP - #Tweeplopaedia - #Twords of #Tweetroduction | #Twitter @Twitter @WebopediaTech #TwitterWorkinProgress (or is that #TwitterERSworkinProgress?)
I see many-many-many "#WritersLift"s in my Twitter-feed. Usually, they're 'writers on Twitter,' offering to like & retweet other writers' promotional-replies (the 'Lifter' tweets a message like "to the #WritingCommunity and #ReadingCommunity: who is up for a #writerslift? Drop those links, retweet, follow your favorites from this list:"
From there, 'the practice' varies—sometimes the 'Lifter' will offer to retweet any replies that include 'links' (I only have blogs and online-forums to link-to, but often people will link to "Amazon-pages selling their own books"). I don't do any "WritersLift"s, unless you count the "WriterLift"s I do ... focusing on one writer (at a time)—currently Emily Nikoll:
#WriterLift (a #WritersLift focused on One Writer) for #EmilyNikoll @WriterEmilyN - #PenName of a creator of #Thrillers, #ScienceFiction etc. https://t.co/s5bJOayohG

But my link? I think 'this post' is going to be the link I share on #WritersLift's (maybe even 'using "the link above"!') Because I think Twitter (and the whole Internet that it's users meet through it via links that we writers share) is our collaborative #WorkInProgress (or #WIP ... making it Our Twitter Work-In-Progress (Our TWIP))
I start to explore 'The #WritersLift' in a post linked through 'the hyperlinks' below; I'll expand on that and -on the writing above soon, but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The Work-in-Progress is writers' word for an |Assignment (usually Self-|Assigned) the Writer has |Begun but -has Not Yet Finished.
Most/all of the words above are Portmanteaux of 'the main words' with the 'Twitter'-prefix "Tw-"—a prefix that generally means 'One of Those, but On Twitter' ... words like 'Twords, #Atwaction #Atwicted #BeeTweet #BullTwit #DailyTwitamin etc.'
Looking that up, I also found out the logo-bird's name: It shares the name
of another proud child of Boston's Bird-family---Larry!
The name of the social-network/microblog-site Twitter was a word that its founder read one day (defined as "a Short |Burst of Inconsequential Information", and "|Chirps from Birds") that felt just right (not to mention how it fit with "Twittr," the site's original title—inspired by |Flickr & the 5-character American |SMS short-codes).
The main word–Tweeplopaedia–is a portmanteau of Twitter, People & Encyclopaedia (yes, that's Encyclopedia; but I didn't want any 'Twit-Feed Scanners' to get any wrong ideas).
So you can see that I hope this post becomes regarded as 'a front-page/introduction-section' for ... well, Science Fiction fans have the term "Mind Canon"---it's sort of 'how they remember the whole story (of a particular franchise) goes.' I would hope that this post is 'in the introduction-section of your Mind Canon for "reality"' 👴💜
And I say 'I don't do any #WritersLift's,' but it would be more accurate to say I don't start any #WritersLift's. That's because I do 'retweet all the #WritersLift's I join' (rather than just 'replying to the "Lifters'" tweets). And writers often respond to those retweets as if I'm the one who promised to like-&-retweet.
