Poking A Dead Frog: Conversations With Today's Top Comedy Writers - Plot & Excerpts
The first is that you should really be looking for better advice. Humor writing? Give me a break! How about advice that might actually lead to the earning of actual money? Or even advice on which specific advice classes to take? That might prove more fruitful. The second thing that sticks out is something I was once told, which I am paraphrasing here: “You aren’t good at writing, but if you can get over that, then one day maybe you will be okay at writing.” I think that’s really solid advice. If you’re reading this right now, you might not be a great writer—in fact, you probably aren’t. No offense! But if you accept that, then maybe you can start working your way toward the holy grail of writing: not being a terrible writer. But this takes time! You know who starts out great? High school football captains. And you know what they do now? They sell insulated hot tub liners to pay for their alimony. So relax. When it comes to writing advice, there really is no such thing.
