My MFA Workshop Responds to My Twitter Status Updates.BY ANTHONY SAMS - - - - Necessary to address the reader? I know you wrote this to be a tweet, yet I feel like this could be turned into an entire blog post. "cant"=to talk about something sanctimoniously; "can't"=cannot RT @MFAer3: "cant"=to talk about something sanctimoniously; "can't"=cannot This just all feels a little too self-conscious to me. Nice. Your updates read like you JUST discovered Raymond Carver or something. RT @MFAer3: "cant"=to talk about something sanctimoniously; "can't"=cannot These are tenacious flash tales of addiction, confession, and recovery in the digital age. Told with remarkable deftness. I mean it: bravo. RT @MFAer3: "cant"=to talk about something sanctimoniously; "can't"=cannot I read "cant" without an apostrophe as the author finally revealing his experimental side to us. If I were you, I'd try this in third person. This reminds me a lot of a tweet I read recently from @newyorker.
