Behind the Tweet! #1

Behind the Tweet

This blog post is the first is an amazing, groundbreaking series taking you behind the scenes to what goes on in the production of some of my favorite tweets. After a great deal of consideration, I’ve decided to call the series ‘Behind the Tweet’!

The first tweet to be distinguished in this manner is my recent tweet of January 24:

Idea for story #10: Truman Capote Jr. gets a lifeguard job in Palm Beach where he saves three orphaned alligators from a hurricane.

As you’ll notice, this tweet in itself is part of a series. Who doesn’t love series? You, the innocent blog reader, are probably already waiting for ‘Idea for a story #11’!

This post came to me when I had the hilarious idea, ‘What if Truman Capote had an illegitimate bastard son who looked just like him – and could maybe be played by Mike Meyers in the movie version with a bald cap like Dr. Evil?’

The next step in the tweet production process was to imagine Truman Capote Jr. in an unusual situation fraught with dramatic potential. So after a quick bout of research to insure that Palm Beach was located near the ocean, I came up with the idea of making TCJ a lifeguard.

The final touch was the heart-wrenching addition of the cute, lovable alligators, who will probably be animated characters in the movie version.

I can already imagine future adventures for Truman Capote Jr., such as a visit to a biker bar and a stint in the Marines. But that’s why they call it a series!
