The Man Behind The Myth

Waxing UnLyrical

This is a personal post. So if you have the patience to put up with it, I appreciate it. If not, we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. Today is my husband’s birthday. So rather than talk about you, or me, I’m going to talk about him today.

Twist Image

What is the best piece of advice you ever got about how to get better at writing? For me, it wasn't so much a piece of advice as it was a self-realization. I got better at writing (much better, in fact) by reading books that we were written by comedians. and that's no joke. Just this past week, I finished reading Tina Fey 's book, Bossypants and I'm currently in the middle of Adam Carolla 's In Fifty Years, We'll All Be Chicks (yes, I realize the polar opposite sides of the comedic galaxy that t

The thought process has changed…

The Way of the Web

So it used to be a case of having a thought, and then deciding whether to act on it. Now that’s changed as I have to: Tweet it with a short link and hashtag. Then Facebook it, ideally with a picture.
