Hello, one and all. I've been part of the on-line world since, well, before the World Wide Web even existed. Yet, in the past fourteen years, I've never really entered the world of the Blog. But, last night, I went to a book signing by an on-line friend, Melanie Lynne Hauser, author of Confessions of Super Mom. She is hysterical, and funny, and she made me laugh. Sure, I know, that's redundant...but you wouldn't think so were you to see her in person.
Anyhow, I happened to meet one of Melanie's friends, who is known in the blogging world as Bookworm. My interest piqued, I decided to give the whole blogging thing a try.
So, is what I have to say worth reading? Who knows! But, as I'm currently working on my very first novel, I hope so.
Which brings me to the topic at hand: On becoming funny. I'm the first to admit, I'm not a funny guy. I'm serious, analytical, and (some might say) I can be downright annoying at times. I'm working on that. (Being analytical, that is.) Anyhow, I decided I really need to work on my funny bone...and, well, the gallons of milk I drink each week aren't doing it.
With the help of some particularly funny folks, including advice from fellow author-wannabe Keith Cronin (one of the funniest guys I know), I'm on a mission to become funny. Uh. No, not funny looking. I'm already funny looking. I just mean funny.
So, you may have to bear with me as I deal with this deficiency of mine. I may attempt jokes and humor that just plain stinks. If I do, whack me over the head with a stick.
Enough for now. I'm not funny yet. I'll also keep you up to date on how my writing is going in a future post.
