Writing Funny…and Not so Funny

It is not an easy thing to do, in a way.

If you’ve read articles about successful writers, and probably many articles by non-successful writers, you may have ingested something along the lines of, “Don’t write out of your genre… ever.” And really, I think all of us writer people want to have some success at what we do. Hopefully, make a living off the writing itself, quit our day jobs, all of that. So that’s sitting there in the back of your mind as you contemplate stepping out of your lane… from a moving car… on the autobahn… doing one-twenty… into gravel… and broken glass… wearing a salt suit.
