A reader has a limited amount of mental power available.
He has to recognize and understand words and then convert them into meaningful thoughts.
Be direct, be specific and be simple.

2. Use familiar words:
You learned the word “wish” before the word “desire”, and “nice” before “pleasant”.
The words you learned as a kid are easily recognizable than the words you learned later in life.
Write words everyone knows.

3. Write like a movie:
Arrange the words of your tweet such a way that it creates a mental picture.
Make it easy for the reader to visualize and deeply feel your words.
Ex: "He was a short bald man who never found love."

5. Use long words to generate feelings:
