A novel use of Twitter
People use Twitter in so many ways. It’s a chat client, it’s a research tool, it’s a place for breaking news, it’s a way to let the world how you feel. I’m not even going to attempt to list all the uses here. This post is J U S T for those who read and write novels. Are you one?
If so, perhaps you too have got a literary pearl in the workings… But just like me… you can’t get started. The days fly away before you can catch the pen, coloured with work, work, work, drinks at the pub, friends, parties, dogs in the park, laundry, dishes … no time to write. We tell ourselves we’re very, very busy.
This is how the world has missed out on the most wonderful stories.
But not anymore! We’ve got Twitter. Twitter is for the aspiring writer what the dumbbells are for the stud in the gym. 140 characters a day, 365 days a year makes a story of 51100 characters. For the writer, this is an exercise in constraint and eloquence, for the reader, this becomes the stories we’ve missed out on so far.
You know you can do it..140 char every day. It’s good for you. Post your story to #140novel. Or read mine:)
