The Shorty Interview
with Xandy Sussan
What's your best tweet?
if mariyln monroe had lived, she would've done a guest stint on falcon crest. #batcountrycommune
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I offer screenwriting help to those in need, articles, social commentary but it's mainly about what I'm writing now and my challenges.
Twitter or Facebook?
Twitter. Facebook is the party where I have to behave 'cause my parents are there. Twitter, is the bar I go to after.
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
All of them. I only have so many characters to use and I have to make it clever and quick. But "fuck" is one I refuse to compromise.
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
I found the best business partner / just partner ever, @uncompletedwork. He has made my everything in my life magnificent.
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
How long can you go without a tweet?
Hours if held hostage at gunpoint (only twice that happened) but generally, minutes.
What question are we not asking here that we should?
How do you tweet? Usually, I do it in a negligee...
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
At some point there's going to be video chat enabled, even though that violates the spirit of the site.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
Me. I started with one follower, my mother, (I know *shame*) and now I have 1100. Always available for help, chat or jokes... and food porn.
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That if you're a #screenwriter living in Hollywood, you're a millionaire with a cabana boy and a pool... one sec, Raul needs my attention...
Why should people follow you?
Because: A) I'm Obi Wan With Tits and B) there's no one on-the-spot funnier, except maybe Jeffrey Ross. And even then, I'm still funnier.
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
@regrifters, @uncompletedwork, @spindoctorblue, @scriptchat
Why'd you start tweeting?
I wanted to promote covermyscript.com and my #screenwriting.
How will the world change in the next year?
We'll all be eating loads more Chinese Food, only we'll just be calling it "food" by then.
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Quit calling people out on the follow / unfollow bull. Either follow or don't. But if someone stops following you, who cares? Leave them be.
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
mexicans will teach americans chinese, so they can order at the mcdonalds drive-thru. the chinese won't want to train us. too beneath them.
