“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”
Comedy
Although many a real life event can capture my attention, my natural bent is towards humor. I love to laugh. I try to do a liberal amount of it daily. Writing humor is harder than we hope. But if we can do the upfront work of dreaming up situations that exude humor, writing the funny stuff is a bit easier. These comedy concepts are based on situations that I thought would be both funny, and a blast to write.
