I wanna be a writer. I've never had that aptitude as a kid. I definitely have comic wit and I felt like if I were part of a team of writers I could contribute, but I don't have a portfolio of sorts.
I've dabble around with Haiku fairly recently and found that I can for some reason write some of the most grim sad suicide themed Haiku's.......
I don't feel particularly suicidal, which is probably the reason I find it so odd that I write those, IDK.
I'm also finding that just because you can have comic wit and timing, those skills don't necessarily translate to being a good writer, unfortunately.
interesting, you are right.
you have a really sense of humor. what it is harder to be an comic actor or stand up comedian. you have heard the laugh from someone else or audience.
as a writer, you have to guess what is funny to someone else.
because you think it is funny, doesn't mean that your reader think it is funny. that is hard to do.
as a writer, you is no such thing as comic timing in writing. comic timing is acting with respond from audience's respond.
as you know my posts that i have can make you laugh. because i have sense of humor.
as if you as a writer , you have learn laugh at yourself. as well as, others laugh at you.
i took some acting lessons not really acting lessons. in 20's, i was this organization called " saturday live leftovers ". i took classes in afternoons for awhile. i was told that i have natural comic timing for acting. i never pursuit back then.
you be born natural anything to be good at, than learning something.
if you don't try something, you need don't know if you are good or not.
