In a moment of either inspiration or insanity, I decided to create a Twitter account for the main character of my novel/podcast – Steve Harrier. Why? Promotion on one level, but on another it is a way to expand the universe a bit.
I’m not going to bother explaining how a thirteen year old is able to update a website while in a far away fantasy world, because there are other examples of people doing this. It also gives me something to update in between episodes, and since my episodes are on a bi-weekly schedule (every other Sunday, Ep009 goes online this Sunday), I’m always worried about losing listeners.
And honestly, I’m having fun with it so far–and it doesn’t cost me any thing, so why not? I’m still figuring out which direction to take it in (like do I reply to people or not, are the updates Magic of Eyri canon, etc), but I think it’ll just boil down to what I have time for and, more importantly, just having fun.
