I chose to live-tweet as I watch Forged in Fire on Disney+, Mostly because I don’t have anything more exciting to live-tweet about!!
Personally I found the thread by Paris Zarcilla very funny and while I may not have conjured the same chaotic-panic energy as that live-tweet adventure, it’s what I was mostly inspired by!
And I followed some of the advice from Eric Goldschein with simply ‘Write the way you talk’. It made me feel more relaxed about the whole assignment.
BACKGROUND
The show Forged in Fire is a show in which four contestants (all people who work as bladesmiths) compete in three rounds to win a cash prize! I first watched it with my friend about five days ago, around midnight up until… about 2:30! We had been hanging out all day and just weren’t quite tired enough to actually commit to falling asleep, but man did I wish I had live-tweeted when we were watching, something tells me uber-tired live-tweeting would’ve added to the experience… but I digress.
I highly recommend the show to even just play in the background!
It was pretty fun to essentially just tweet all my thoughts! Might not be something I do in the future because I got distracted with tweeting over actually watching the show sometimes, but it was fun to get to do!
