The Guardian comments on the phenomenon of tweets to story, as is being used by Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself), Melvin Burgess (@MelvinBurgess) and Philippa Gregory (@elizwoodville):

“I thought I’d start with a line and see where it went,” said Burgess, whose controversial novels have tackled subjects from teenage sex to heroin addiction in the Carnegie medal-winning Junk. “It’s more just to be able to write something under no pressure – for fun – and let it go where it will, rather than worry if it will be acceptable or published.”
