New Twitter Account!
Hi everyone, I’ve finally managed to get my bum in gear and made a Twitter for Francesca’s Words. Strangely enough, it’s @FrancescasWords. My other one, @ToBeQuiteFrank, is still there and kicking. Both accounts are sweary and strange, but now I don’t feel like I’m spamming with stationery on the one my friends follow. ALSO ALSO,…
