A paper book named “Twitter Shousetsu – 140 ji no Monogatari”(Twitter Novels – 140 Letters Stories)<\/a> is to be published at the beginning of next month, announced by one of ten professional authors, Mika Naitoh<\/a> [J]. There will be over 100 very short stories in the book.
\nAccording to her blog, the first Japanese book compiling tweet novels is written by 10 professional authors, @EnJoeToh<\/a>, @toiimasunomo<\/a>, @SinjowKazma<\/a>, @Talkingdogdays<\/a>, @kaworu963<\/a>, @adachib<\/a>, @watanabeyayoi<\/a>, @izutada<\/a>, @harukiyoshii<\/a>, and herself, @micanaitoh<\/a>.
\nIt was born by part of tweet-novel writing movement around the hashtag #twnovel<\/a> (statistics<\/a>), which Mika Naitoh suggested in July<\/a> [J]. There are over 5,000 stories posted both by those professionals and amateurs.
\nTranslation of the first one of Mika Naitoh’s<\/a>, taking twitter on it:<\/p>\n

On twitter, I noticed you the first time in years. Followed the name in secrecy. You do not know it is me. Reading his familiar style with sentiment, will I tell it someday? Days later, you tweeted “Today is my third wedding anniversary”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I recently wrote on another article, Japanese can convey roughly doubled information in the same 140 letters limit to English<\/a>. I cannot translate it within 140 in English.
\nThe publisher, Discover Twenty-One, is planning another tweet novel book with non professional twitter users.<\/p>\n
