My MFA Workshop Responds to My Twitter Status Updates

Necessary to address the reader?

I know you wrote this to be a tweet, yet I feel like this could be turned into an entire blog post.

“cant”=to talk about something sanctimoniously; “can’t”=cannot

RT @MFAer3: “cant”=to talk about something sanctimoniously; “can’t”=cannot

This just all feels a little too self-conscious to me.

Nice.

Your updates read like you JUST discovered Raymond Carver or something.

RT @MFAer3: “cant”=to talk about something sanctimoniously; “can’t”=cannot

These are tenacious flash tales of addiction, confession, and recovery in the digital age. Told with remarkable deftness. I mean it: bravo.

RT @MFAer3: “cant”=to talk about something sanctimoniously; “can’t”=cannot

I read “cant” without an apostrophe as the author finally revealing his experimental side to us.

If I were you, I’d try this in third person.

This reminds me a lot of a tweet I read recently from @newyorker.
