Tweets to Novel

Hi, my name is Jeff. I am 24 years old and have a dream about getting published. After thinking for awhile about what to write about I came up with an unique idea. I will just have someone else write the book for me. However not just one other person, but several. I have started the story and I am just asking you to finish it for me. I will be collecting your sentences in under 140 character. The sentences you send me will continue in real time to write the story until we get 100,000 tweets. I am looking forward to your help. Thank you.

This is how it works.

Send us an e-mail at tweet2novel@gmail.com and with which name you would like to be shown as, it can be a real name, your twitter name, a pen name. If you would like to remain anonymous please let us know. Please label your message as "Tweet to Novel Project". Or you can send a message to us through twitter at @tweet2novel. Please make sure that your piece is under 140 characters, you may send a second messege if using twitter to tell us any additional information.


We don't care who you are or where you are from. Anyone who wants to write can no matter how old, young, nationality. But please write in English. We are aiming for a Million Seller. This is a great chance to record your name in history.

This is the begining of the story...

-----------

Man starts life with no map to guide their journey. It is only as time leads them that they can begin to write their story.

-----------

What happens next is up to you.

Our Goal
As we mentioned above, we are aiming to sell a million books. So, we are aiming for around 100,000 Tweets before publishing, but it could be more. Depending on the number of tweets and the average length, we may have to make a book series. We want to make the story the best it can be, so let's make it the best it can be. This project has never been done before. So even we do not know the exact end result. We cannot expect this novel to be anything, with so many people participating, we will have to see what everyones imagination creates.
