It’s
hard to say how close to “done” that my Twitter Fiction story is. I started off
with a few one tweet stories, thinking that would be much easier. Only, I ran
out of idea quicker than I was expecting, and found it much harder selecting
words that could really get a message across in a short 140 characters. Which
is why I began writing an extended story instead. However, with an extended
story, I’m not too sure how to get my message across or how to complete the
story within approximately 30 tweets. Honestly, Twitter Fiction is just not for
me. I find both extremes are difficult.
On
another note, I feel as though I’ve included most of the criteria on our Twitter Fiction To Do List. Dialogue
seemed to be the easiest, whereas imagery I’m finding a little more difficult.
I also chose to write my story in first person narration, which makes it easier
to get feelings across to the reader. I personally feel that we can be much
more accurate in describing what we see, feel, hear, smell or taste, compared to
someone else trying to interpret our take on those same things. Also, I’m
realizing that I should probably start thinking about images I’d like to attach
to my tweets to further the visuals in the story. Overall, my Twitter Fiction
is beginning to come along nicely. However, there is still quite a bit of development
and editing to finish.
Once
everything is complete and our tweets are organized in complete stories, I’m
curious as to how we will be posting our work. On our blogs? On Twitter? If we
actually are posting them as tweets, in what order? They would have to be backwards
in order to make any sense – starting with the last tweet in our stories,
making our way to the very beginning. They’ll also be interesting to read.
