a twitter novel

by John on January 25, 2008

Leo Laporte and a few others are writing a collaborative story via twitter called 140Novel. They are taking turns adding to the story within the 140 character limit that Twitter imposes on them.

Who knows if it will be a good story? I am more interested in watching how creativity can be stirred within a collaborative process. It removes anxiety when you know that you are only responsible for what you are going to write at this moment, and someone else will pick it up from there.

Have you ever been to 100 words? You must write 100 words everyday for a month. It’s amazing. I’ve had two friends who have done it.

Thanks Jamie. I’ve never seen that before.

The link, for others, is http://www.100words.com
