I’m a writer. You know this, of course, because you’re reading my work. I hope. Oh god someone’s reading these, right?
…and I have always been a writer. What I have not always been is a funny writer. Back in high school, I would spend my time crafting big, long, totally-not-Star Wars-ripoffs epics with blood and torture and stuff that made my mom upset… anyway, one day, as a teenager, I decided I was going to sit down and write a dumb comedy. When I finished the first draft, I got really excited, printed out a copy of the screenplay, and ran into the next room where my dad was.
Me: Dad! I wrote a comedy!
Dad, sipping tea slowly: Did you write a comedy, or did you simply record the farce that is your life?
Anyway that’s where a good chunk of my sharp tongue came from
