Twitter Fiction
If you follow the world of “social media” and “Web 2.0″, you may have come across the Twitter application - which is a small tool that lets you broadcast small text messages … or as they describe it:
“a community of friends and strangers from around the world sending updates about moments in their lives.”
Anyhow, I came across someone who is using the Twitter framework to write fiction. As they describe it:
“Fiction + Twitter = Flits. Short stories. Really short. 140 characters to tell a complete fictional tale.”
It’s an interesting idea - along the lines of a haiku - a restricted format that forces one to get to the essence of an idea or thought. (via Book of Joe)
