@trinahess got a grade of 94/100 on @grader.  Check it out:  http://twitter.grader.com/trinahess

Yes, I just got my grade back from twitter.  Not only a good grade, but the twitter experience is also helping my writing. 

Think about it:  We have only 140 characters that we can use.  And we are allowed to write whatever we want.  So, we are learning how to express ourselves concisely--just like we do in the SHINE System of Communication that I created! 

But the most important aspect of twitter is that we are not censoring ourselves.  Buoyed by the celebratory and light atmosphere of the twitter-sphere, we are almost compelled to write whatever we are doing. 

"Letting the dog out."  "Yelling at my neighbor."  "Sled riding."  "Letting the dog back in." 

None of these entries is important of itself.  But the process we are using is vitally important.  We are letting our minds run wild.  That helps us to unclog the thought processes. 

Then the great, hugely imperative ideas that we have lodged in our brains--they are broken free to enlighten the world. And I'm sure that was more than 140 characters. 

"Get Your SHINE Together!" now that you know how to do the "S"--make is short & sweet!

Let me hear your comments on how twitter helps (or hinders) YOUR creativity!
