The Serious Guide to Joke Writing: How To Say Something Funny About Anything pdfdrive com

1. I’ll never be able to write
jokes on this subject!
This kind of panic stops you starting and often leads to displacement activity -
all those cups of tea and a sudden need to clean the bathroom. If you do manage

first three minutes you give up.

2. It Has To Be Perfect!
This kind of panic means that even if you do start work and you find some joke
ideas,  you  will  decide  none  of  them  are  good  enough,  none  of  them  are  worth
following up, and you will abandon them like babies in a basket without honing
them or going back to them, making all the work you put in a complete waste of
time.
