Looking at the history of SMS messaging and its impact on language is fascinating. Since texting was initially expensive, it led us to shorten words. But with tech advances, that isn't as true today. Just take the numeric keypad v predictive typing #TWSOchat

When incorporating text messaging in one's writing, it must be hard to get the "textese" right. Any recos for text language resources? #TWSOchat

A4. I love the idea of reading stories told this way. I can just imagine the depth of the subtext. I would enjoy taking a meta approach to using modern media in my writing in the vein of John Barth's short story "Click." #TWSOchat

A3. While I like seeing such messages styled differently, I can see how it might become unwieldy in cases when the story has lots of them. #TWSOchat

A1. I find that using a different font is an effective way to set apart text messages, like in Stephen King's "Finders Keepers."

As humans, I think sometimes we walk around in our big boots unaware of the smaller world, just trying to get things done. I think about this Philip Larkin poem so much. And "we should be kind/while there is still time."
