Nanoism-A Place for Twitter Fiction →
anymousse:
Nanoism is a really cool site that lets you submit stories totalling 140 characters. If you win, they pay you a $1.50 and publish it on twitter.
I realize a $1.50 isn’t much, but it’s a start for any writer at least. I submitted something to it today (second shot; my first attempt didn’t make it).

Not that I would compare myself to Hemingway, but if you read my novel, you’ll see that it’s as brilliantly simple as The Old Man and the Sea, as poetic as The Sun Also Rises, and as epic as For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Who’s Hemingway?
I LOLed.

I'm on my way to MacWorld...
…and it’s been a busy few days. If you’ve messaged me or sent me a message on the ivrit Tumblog, I received it (I believe :P). I just haven’t had time to respond.
Once I’m in Spain, I’m hoping I’ll have a more time for everything! Until then…panic and stress! Danger Will Robinson. Stuff like that.

Take a few moments to ingest this funny rant in one bite. I think Chuck is being a hog and is quivery I might eat up some of that air he’s breathing.
This amused me. Guess what? Everything in it’s true. And I still want to be a writer. Well, I already am, but a novel writer at some point. We’ll see how that works out for me in the long run.
