What audience do you have in mind as you write it-yourself only, or others too? If the latter, are you publishing? You'll have material for about 2143 twitter posts, for example.
It's intended for anyone who would like to read it, I suppose. Certainly no aim to keep it private--the original media I was planning for this story is webcomic.
I could perhaps serialize it; Twitter seems like a lot of work unless there's some tool that will dribble out text from a real source. I'd certainly be happy to publish my Google Doc.
Ah! I wondered why I saw your name on the Mo-Tech Tower visitor counters. If it's the one you talked about doing with screenshots, it should be pretty damn awesome as a novel.
And Sid, the concept of limiting yourself to 140 character sentences for a 50,000 word novel is pure evil. Right up there with leaving out all the letter E.
Huh. I'm still dealing with the communicative culture shock of Twitter status updates. I suppose you could, in fact, fit most normal sentences in 140 characters or less, provided you avoided excessive qualification, transitional words, and so on. Basically, avoid anything that requires more than one or two commas. Hopefully the characters won't be verbalizing their grocery lists or anything, anyway.
