Any Teachers There?
Are there any writing teachers out there? What do you think of Twitter as an aid to creative writing? The whole Twitter experience reminds me of my college German classes. It was "writing across the curriculum", I think that was the term they used. Dictionaries were verboten. We were to write a journal page in German--every single day. If we didn't know the German word, we were told to write the English word. Just keep writing, don't stop. This is the best way to capture ideas without being held up (or down) by analyzing our mistakes. (The professor would do that for us.) Twitter requires this style of thinking and writing. There are abbreviations that I haven't figured out yet. That's ok, I can tweet a question and ask somebody. There are no "experts" in Twitterworld, just people stumbling onto this social communication device. There is little pressure to write something important.
It sounds rather funny, doesn't it? Just like humor...
