I believe anyone can be funny. We all possess a comedic persona and style. In ‘Bloopers and Spit Takes: Easy Ways to Add Humor into Your Creative Writing‘ you will learn how to tap into your natural comedic gifts and joke theory to help you improve your comedic batting average.
Developed during 4 years of writing a weekly humor column, I teach how to infuse humor into creative writing. This technique builds on theories by Jerry Corley (Breaking Comedy’s DNA), John Vorhaus (The Comic Toolbox), Suzette Martinez Standring (The Art of Column Writing), and other comedy, humor, and improv resources I’ve studied during my 10+ years as a humorist.

Social Symone covers finance-related topics. In a recent video, Symone commented on Romain Faure, an aspiring personal finance guru, who lowkey destroyed his finances trying to launch a YouTube career.
The TLDR of how I feel about Romain’s situation is that I just need to upload for upload sake. It’s clear that it’s very unlikely that adSense will be someone’s sole income. And so, I should just stick to my likkle freelance hustle ting deh. As always, 30% off creative services when you use code ‘ONINEWS’ at www.clearmango.com.
Yo, the way I chuckled my way through writing the previous paragraph. Good luck to Romain and everyone involved.
Rewrite Your Story: A Stand-Up Comic’s Trick To Crush Inner Ageism
