words

I love the way that we can use new technologies to make learning and creativity more accessible.  Six word story is a great example.  The premise is self-explanatory and the storytelling takes place on Twitter.

The thing I like most about it is the parsimony of the format – you can’t be flabby or lazy and you quickly discover that writing fewer words is harder than spouting volumes.  Scarcity breeds invention.

Have a go! As well as stetching your literary muscles, you might win a copy of JM Tohline’s new book in the process.

Simple things help us live life.
