When i worked in theater, i was always writing things on post-it notes and sticking them on screens or desks. twitter has given me a way of continuing to post those notes, only a lot of other people see them, too.

More From Maureen Johnson

I just got on twitter because there was some mtv film blog that quoted me on something really innocuous that i supposedly said on twitter before i was even on twitter. so then i had to get on twitter to say: 'this is me. i'm on twitter. if there's somebody else saying that they're me on twitter, they're not.'

Looking at virtual reality through computer screens, video game screens, and above all television screens is a denial of personality development. it's a denial of socialization, of expansion of vocabulary, of interaction with real human beings.

The tweets are getting shorter, but the songs are still 4 minutes long. you're coming up with 140-character zingers, and the song is still 4 minutes long…i realized about a year ago that i couldn't have a complete thought anymore. and i was a tweetaholic. i had four million twitter followers, and i was always writing on it. and i stopped using twitter as an outlet and i started using twitter as the instrument to riff on, and it started to make my mind smaller and smaller and smaller. and i couldn't write a song.

I'm also lonely. i'll admit it. i go to twitter because i'm lonely. i get my coffee in the morning, and i live alone. i get on twitter, and i sit and have my coffee. sometimes i'll look at it for 30 minutes. i will waste a lot of time on twitter. i do! but it's my guilty pleasure. and i'll look for some happy stories to retweet, and i'll say some uplifting things to people. i try not to get caught into - i used to get tangled up into some crazy stuff. but i try not to do that anymore.
Uplifting Lonely Morning
The seven white notes on the piano - each section of the piece (there are 12 sections) is five of those seven white notes. if you calculate it, there are 21 groups of five notes in any group of seven notes. and although there are 12 sections, this piece actually uses nine of those groups because some of the sections repeat earlier ones. so that's the formula. it's very simple as a way of generating something. it's my inner minimalist.
Simple Piano White
I felt like if i said something positive on twitter, it got no play. but if i said something negative on twitter, it was a billion retweets and so that was giving me a pavlovian response to be mean, and i don't want to be mean. we all have mean thoughts. they should not be broadcast on twitter. you don't need to see mean things.
