Twitter - Writing Hashtags

So I found out today that these are good hashtags to use if you're a writer and have twitter.

These came from the website http://www.dailywritingtips.com/ who also have a very helpful twitter account @AdviceToWriters. They frequently quote famous authors who actually have good insights into writing. Having twitter is a great thing to have if you want to be a writer as you really get yourself out there. You can also connect with other authors, I follow Neil Gaiman, Chuck Palahniuk, and Bret Easton Ellis, who all give you fantastic advice. J.K Rowling has twitter too but she rarely uses it. Another great account to follow is @LitReactor who offer useful tips and interesting book news. 

University Grades

This is a pretty braggy post. I got my Critical Evaluation for Creative Voice back today, and I won't lie, I was worried about what mark I was going to get. My Evaluation last year was 60%, so I wasn't too hopeful this year. However, I got 68% yay! Anyway, my friend said that she kept a record of all the grades she has got and I thought I would, too. I don't want to seem like a show off posting them on here, but it means I can link them to the exact pieces of work so you can see what I wrote and what grade I got for it. Also, if you can't show off your grades what's the point of getting them?
