Topic: Comedy, anyone?

Is anyone on this site writing romantic comedy? Or how about just something funny? I know, I know,comedy is hard, but I would sure like to take a break from all the doomsday, apocalyptic, (wait a minute--that's the same thing, isn't it?) futuristic, phantasmagoric stories we're all writing.

Not trying to cast any blame. My stories wouldn't be called humorous, either. I do enjoy a bit of light reading from time to time, though. If that's your thing, I'd like to know. I could use some comic relief.

I hope to hear from you.  JP

I've posted a few funny short stories. At least I think they're funny. Try "Adventurous" Or, if you're into puns, some of the others are punny.

Thanks,Bill. I still get a laugh out of your fifteen-year-old self trying to speak French in Paris.

I wonder how many others are writing comedy? Maybe Sol should offer a class!

Goddamnit..., I write comedy, for chrissakes! It might be a bit too petulant and profane for your taste, JP, but it's "supposed" to be funny. If you know what I mean and for whatever it's worth. Anyway, there have been a few TNBW'ers who've composed some pretty comical prose over the years. I'd rate Rachel Parsons (Rhiannon) as one of the more active members plying that trade.

By the way, if you want "romantic" comedy...

I'm so good in bed that I can do it with my eyes closed. And I hardly ever fall out.

Is that funny? Probably not. Okay. Carry on...

Cheers

John

Hi, John--It's been a long time! Sorry if I've neglected your work. I'll read one of yours today. Thanks for the reminder.

I'll check out some of Rachel's writing today, also

As for romance--if that's a sample, don't quit your day job.  JP
