Best Tweets: Creative Writing, Wasting Time, Interview, Short Stories, Oprah and CNN

Top tweets today and I see Tweedle Dee is as grumpy as ever! Maybe he should lighten up a bit and try entering this contest to win a new computer desk (office desk in paradise contest). If he stopped working off the floor, maybe his attitude would improve!

1. Creative Writing Workshop in Bangalore in March|Asia Writes

   RT @asiawrites: Creative Writing Workshop in Bangalore in March: Soulpen: Writing for Happiness How do I… (@wishfulpinking)

   Tweedle Dee says: This paragraph before the course description talks about using creative writing to discover yourself and heal yourself. Now that would be worth exploring. But the course description makes it sound like every other creative writing course. What a bore!

   Tweedle Dum says: Too much busy, not enough stuff to actually read that is worth reading

1. Creative Writing Corner - How Much Time Do You Waste?

   reassuring! >Creative Writing Corner - How Much Time Do You Waste? (@rebeccaebrown)

   Tweedle Dee says: How much time do you waste? All of it of course! Now I'll leave the exercise of figuring out whether I mean 100% of my time, so 100% of my wasted time. Let me know the answer.

   Tweedle Dum says: This page has a full half devoted to nonsense and half a page to the writing. I wasted time looking at all the distracting stuff

2. An Interview with Linda Strawn

   Check out this author interview on creative-writing-help.com (@countryauthor)

   Tweedle Dee says: Finally, someone that understands the essence of writing: "I have a vivid imagination and find that when I write, the characters in the story seem to take on a life all their own."

   Tweedle Dum says: See? Even this real author says the best thing to do is just write. I can see reaching out to others for critique or perhaps help finding someone to read a manuscript....but why pay money to go to a creative writing class? Are they going to WRITE for you too?

3. Short Stories: 10 Tips for Creative Writers (Kennedy and Jerz) (Dennis G. Jerz, Seton Hill University)

   Great article RT @SouthernBella03 Short Stories: 10 tips for creative writers #writing #writetip (@OhSoSqueamish)

   Tweedle Dee says: 10 great tips, but I haven't a clue what they are since the CSS on this page overprints the tips with other text! I suppose this is quite a good article, but ruined by bad CSS. Thanks, but no thanks.

   Tweedle Dum says: I actually enjoyed reading this information. It is well written, relevant and I bookmarked the page. Good job!

4. Why love can make you more creative - CNN.com

   So, that's why I've been writing more lately...RT @gwezsley RT @StaciJShelton: Why love can make U more creative (@just_tinad)

   Tweedle Dee says: If you listen to Oprah and CNN you'll believe anything... here is something to think about: YOU are at least as creative as Oprah and CNN combined!

   Tweedle Dum says: I think it goes both ways..love can increase your creativity for two reasons:1. The physiological explanation AND the fact that your heart is unfettered by unhappiness. Nothing kills creativity like a sad heart
