World Book Day Warwick

Can a book really be written via Twitter?

On Monday night I attended the opening of the new library in Warwick.  There had been a number of events on during the day, all culminating in the writing of a Twitter book and poetry reading in the evening.  I chose to take part in trying to write the Twitter book.  I figured we have Tweetups and Twitter parties, why not try a Twitter book.  I had been advised by Jack that the theme was going to be murder mystery and quite apt that we would be sitting next to the crime and adventure books.



When I arrived there were quite a few people already there, phones in hand.  The Twitter book was going to be illustrated by a local artist/ illustrator James Vinciguerra using an ipad.  Using the #worldbookwarwick Jack started off with the first line "it was a dark night, the kind of dark that surrounds you smothers you, and I had that sick feeling I always get when.....


This is how the story unfolded through Jame's illustrations.


For the the full story lines read Jack's review.  I can tell you the story included Simon Le Bon, Hatton & Harding, the Air Ambulance, Warwick Mayor and Mary Portas.

I couldn't finish the post without telling you about the most amazing chocolate cake that we had.  It was from a local company Sweet as Cakes.  If like me you have a sweet tooth, see my food and reviews, I can definitely recommend this very rich dark chocolate cake. I can't wait to try more of their cakes.




Is anything possible on Twitter.......I think so!
