I made my grad students this term write Twitter stories (I'll be giving a talk about that in June at the Great Writing Conference in Wales). I think playing to our shot internet attention spans can be entertaining!C.

Perhaps I should try writing some drabbles if only to learn brevity. <br /><br />alan chin<br />author of Island Song<br />http://alanchinwriter.blogspot.comAlanChinWriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391204766858688761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9165246804468945939.post-38072150494334482862009-05-11T07:15:00.000+10:002009-05-11T07:15:00.000+10:00Galen and Helen, very difficult words!

It's a mini-action adventure set in Las Vegas.<br /><br />I wrote a couple transitionary chapters at the end to transition into Chapter Two (which was originally Chapter One). <br /><br />So props to your blog today.

Can't think of anything obscure. How about, in honor of the book I just turned in, avionics.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Straight From Hel</A>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9165246804468945939.post-64662329986822574972009-05-10T23:18:00.000+10:002009-05-10T23:18:00.000+10:00Wow.

Sort of like a western world Haiku. Let's see, a word...hmmm. Since I'm mean, it's gotta be something difficult. How about...Lexicography. Learned this yesterday on another friend's blog.
