“So I am relatively new to this 140 characters world. Been there for a bit but just can’t figure out what to tweet about.

When I do find something fun to tweet about, I spend 5 minutes trying to get rid of the negative character count .. aaah … how frustrating!! Do you know how hard it is get interesting thoughts across in less than 140 characters?

Imagine if Twitter existed in the Elizabethan era! I think I need to enroll in a ‘Twitter Short Form Writing’ class right after I get done with ‘What Do I Tweet About?’ ” – Ruchi Kalra
