First, I laughed till I cried, watching this comic throughout the entire season of Last Comic Standing. So I was not surprised when he won.
Second, because you’re sitting there saying, “Yeah, Cathy, but what about the writing angle?” (Get it? Angle? ‘Cause we’re fishing for tips?) So this: if you want to write funny, you need to learn timing and pacing. Watch comedians.
And thirdly, how great is it that his name is Rod Man? (Like a fishing rod, right? D’uh.)
I know what you’re thinking.
You see treasure…
and your beady, little eyes light up. But I’m afraid I’m mean this kind of treasure.
Still, I hope your beady, little eyes light up. Because I’ve just added my favorite writing links on the interwebs to my website. You know, those not-so-secret spots where I hook amazing information, super tips and advice, and just plain good writing and fun.
Honestly, I’ve had this task on my To Do list for a while. I wanted all my links in an easy-to-get-to place here so that I could…well, get to them easily.
See, despite my best organizational efforts, sites often drop off my radar. I sign up for them, and they arrive in my email, and then poof! They quit arriving in my email. I have no idea why. And because I’m ever so much older now, I tend to forget all about the amazing sites. Out of site, out of mind, I guess. (I know. I”m sorry for that pun. I don’t seem to forget those, do I?) So I carry on, blissfully unaware, until someone makes a comment somewhere and I think, “Hey. Didn’t I used to get those posts delivered to me in a timely manner?”
Now, I have all my writing treasures right here! And as an added bonus, when readers visit, they can find my writing treasures, too. If you’d like to share your favorite writing treasure, I’ll add it to the chest. Even if it’s your own lovely site. Because the more writing treasures I find, the better writer I become. Which leads me to grander, richer thinking.
