Funny writing

Between my screenwriting class, two personal book projects, and several blogs, I do a fair amount of writing.

I have always, and probably will always, want to be a funny writer. I like making people laugh, because laughter is basically the most honest reaction you’ll ever get from anyone (besides fear, but nobody likes being scary). Unfortunately I’m no good at funny writing.

He will run for Congress.

Maybe someday I’ll find the magic chicken nugget of humor, and suddenly I’ll write funny. That’ll be a happy day.
