  8. Okay. I changed the headline of my last G+ post...
  9. Anyone have a better headline for me? Thank you. "3 Secrets For Creating Killer Content Like You're SEAL Team 6" bit.ly/wA7rb0
  10. lol. What kind of a headline was that? Sometimes I just crack myself up. I'll probably go ahead and change that to something less, um, yeah.
  11. @YukariP I don't know. How many?
  12. I suspect that I'll change that headline/title sometime shortly after I wake up. Hey, it's late. What can I tell you?

  14. If Charles Bukowski wrote posts on Twitter, most social media consultants would correct him and tell poor Charles, he's doing it wrong.
  15. Writing posts for Twitter isn't much different than writing for any other format. It's just shorter, which makes it all the more intense.
  16. The greatest writers, those who are celebrated and respected, wrote hard. They took risks. They exposed themselves.
  17. Most of the advice I read about writing copy for Twitter is either misguided or flat out wrong. I know that comes across as being brash.
  18. I have often said, particularly on Twitter, writers are among the bravest people on the planet. Great writers bare their souls. Take risks.
  19. Great writing... Great writing cannot be contained, constrained or controlled. Great writers take risk with ideas, content, and imagery.
  20. With so much emphasis on what not to write in order to ensure job hire-ability, tweets have become mundane and homogeneous.
