Inception enables you to create Twitter stories from the following panels:
•Running Order — while working with a running order in the Running Order panel you can add a new Twitter story directly to the open running order.
•Story Browser — when you do not want to immediately add a new Twitter story to a running order, you can create your new Twitter story from your Story Browser panel. You can add your Twitter story to a running order at any time.
•Story Editor — while editing a story in the Story Editor panel, you can use the content of the current story to create a new Twitter story. When you create a Twitter story from an existing Inception story, Inception produces a story family that includes the original and new story. All new stories created in such a manner inherit the Slug and the content of the original.
•Assignment — while working on an assignment in the Assignment Editor panel, you can create new Twitter story for the assignment. When you create a story from an assignment, Inception automatically makes the Slug for new stories the same as the assignment Slug. Changing the Slug of a new story does not change the assignment Slug.

Twitter stories can contain up to 140 characters. The Characters Left field at the bottom of the Story Editor indicates how many characters remain. If you include a URL that starts with http://, Inception always considers the URL to be 20 characters, and adjusts the character counter accordingly.
