Last night, I went to the library to hear a well known author, Jonathan Maberry, speak. He was telling us about the nuts & bolts of the writing business. Sadly, as I had thought, my genre (a sad attempt at humor) isn’t in demand these days. Boogers.
I was hoping to hear that the people whose style I attempt to invoke, such as Erma Bombeck, Dave Barry, etc. were in demand. Heavy Sigh & dashed hopes!
On the bright side, I can still write & bother you, you lucky minions! Ok, I’m done.

The Curious Case of the Brunette Lucy
She was pretty dumb.
I'm happy to still write on here. I always enjoy your writing!
ReplyDeleteI meant I'm happy YOU still write on here... see, I'm not the writer. : )
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that your genre isn't in demand. I am so tired of reading "doom and gloom" and "how-to's". We need to see and hear something funny, and it's even better when it applies to us too!! Keep writing, and we will keep reading.
