Writing Perspective; writing
my twitter fiction was honestly a bit hard. I didn’t like that I couldn’t be as
a descriptive as I usually am with stories. Some successes of mine were when I
was writing it and found out that everything I wanted to say could fit into the
140 character limit, or when I had a VSS and learnt I could fit it all into one
tweet. Some frustrations I had were when I had a really good creative idea for
a tweet and realised I couldn’t fit it all into the 140 character limit. I like
being really descriptive with my writing but with the limit I had to subtract a
lot from what I wanted to say. I learnt a lot about myself as an author like I
don’t really like having a limit when writing a short story or that I had to separate
what I wanted to say into different tweets because I couldn’t fit it into one.
In my opinion, long stories separated into tweets takes away from everything
else you usually find in a long story. I didn’t really feel much different
about publishing myself on twitter than publishing my work on my blog.
Reading Perspective; I read a bunch of different twitter
fictions because I couldn’t find one I could simply get really really into. It
just didn’t appeal to me at all, so I went and explored my classmates twitter.
From our class, I read the twitter fiction of Jacqueline, Taylor and Christie
because I usually enjoy the things that they publish onto their blogs. They’re
really amazing writers. One thing that really surprised me was when I went to
go read Christies tweets. She wrote a long extended story that was nothing like
her at all. It was a nice surprise.
About Twitter; This assignment didn’t really change my
perspective of twitter because I use twitter every day and it didn’t feel that
much different, other than the frustration with the 140 characters. I don’t
really have another idea for how we could use twitter.
