Director Steven Soderbergh Is Writing A Bizarre Novella On Twitter
It's titled "Glue" and he posted the first seven chapters of his crime mystery on Sunday.
The 50-year-old has ten previous writing credits to his name, including 1989's "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" and 2002's "Solaris."
Soderbergh hinted he was working on a new writing/Twitter project in February, telling Collider of his Tweeting habits:

I’m about a week away from another burst of tweets. It’s fun to have, it’s kind of like having a pseudonym, it’s kind of like being Peter Andrews, I feel I can hide behind that, which is fun."
On his unverified but confirmed account @Bitchuation, Soderbergh announced the new project to his measly 5,737 followers:
