Much has been written about the social network benefits of Twitter. And I’ll get to that later. But not in this post.

Rather, I encourage you to use Twitter to help you in your writing.

How?

Twitter Forces You to be Concise

Each “tweet” (slang for an update posted on Twitter) is limited to 140 characters. Anything beyond gets cut off. So you have to get to the point.

Tweeting forces you to look at the words you write. And hack of unnecessary words. Or look for shorter words that mean the same thing. Which translates to better writing.

And that’s the point.
