Funny is hard!

[melissajm]

I'm trying to write a funny story for a project. It sounds like a really fun project, just the sort of thing I like to write, and I've been very psyched about it. But I've discovered something. When I write funny, it's usually short. I've started 3 different stories, and I have yet to finish one. The minimum length for this project is about 4-5X longer than my typical funny story. It's proving quite the challenge to write sustained humor.

Today's reason why proofreading is a Good Thing: "I'm taking this basket of teats to my grandmother," said Red.

(Grandma must be bottle-fed.)

Oh man, I hear you on the proofreading thing. It reminds me of when I almost called something a pubic - I mean public - service.

:snarf: Yeah. And I wish U, I, and O weren't so close together on the keyboard. I get paranoid about characters shutting anything, or taking shots at anything...
