Dawn of the Noveleet...

Following the twisting path of my friend and Chicago playwright R. O'Donnell, I have just written/crafted/assembled my first Twitter novel - this literary work, just dubbed a Noveleet, is a form R. and I are inventing through cross-pollination. My Noveleet form is based on my previous Burroughs, cut 'n paste media work using radio-dial-divination and book-divination. This noveleet consists of 5 spontaneous in and outbound Tweets - of not more than 140 characters each. It was created in about 10 minutes beginning at approximately 2:28 AM on July 8, 2008:

R. O'Donnell's Noveleet form is taking off on a different track which can be pursued by following @spooncity on Twitter.
