I know I should really think about writing pieces that are funny, smart, in other words have wit.
In other words, write pieces that I would love to read out loud and to an audience.
Think of pacing, think of ways that a story engages with a listener.
Leaving Louise's reading and how she affirmed that a lot of life is about pain but the comedy helps relieve that or at least make it approachable. And how difficult it is to write comedy as I'm talking to Eric and he remembers the piece that I wrote called against masculinity in the comedy I had written about after writing about the angry men I had survived when my mom came out after her divorce and said I don't think I like men and I responded me either! And then how I then run into Roger who took a fiction class with me 8 years ago and he remembered what I said about there's a story and everything and he even mentioned the story recently wrote called sticky notes. He now has a couple of Memoirs written. And a couple of novels. And here's the thing it's toward the end of the semester and I was feeling down and sometimes that little depression comes back but then here are these notes as I'm thinking about writing memoir and that I have to remember is to bring back that comedy. I love how my mom said I always used to tell jokes and I was always being humorous but I also know that was partly the disguise of the sadness I was feeling. Eric told me about another time when we were both students at Robinson Middle School and somehow someone told him about when I was in Randolph Elementary School that I asked someone in the back do you want to see me jump out the window? And I had then showed a piece of paper with the word Jump On It. I waited for the teacher to turn back around and threw that piece of paper out the window!
I'm wondering that comedy will be a part of my memoir?
