FUN AND GAMES

Write Some Short Jokes

The May-June Writer’s Prompt #2

So — you want to write funny stuff?

You may have noticed that it’s not always easy or fun to come up with the funnies.

The Second 2020 Writers’ Competition

The May-June Writers’ Prompt #1

Be Brief

The good news is — you’ll write a lot of bad material before you hit on the one great piece.

Curation is like that too. You’ll write a lot of bad before you hit the great.

The most important way to get to where you want to be, is to write in large quantity. That’s the point of these contests, and writer’s prompts — to make you stretch. To get you in the practice of doing what you claim you want to do — write more, and write funny.

So for this prompt — I’m challenging you to write some jokes. Can you do it? Some of your jokes might be bad. Write them anyway. The readers will give you feedback. You might be surprised at how well — or how bad — you do.

It’s said that Jerry Seinfeld won’t go to sleep at night until he’s written 10 jokes. Personally, I try to write 10 jokes a day. THIS IS NOT EASY WORK.

See what you can come up with. To get you going, I’m sharing my 10 jokes for today. See what you think. Don’t be shy with your comments. You’ll find they are a mix of bad, okay, and maybe truly funny.

If you do this exercise enough, you’ll exercise your brain’s fun generator.

Good luck! Material is all around you.
