Comedy Writing Highlights
- Always carry a writing notebook with you – constantly jot down ideas, situations, etc. It will be invaluable for you as your writing progresses
- Write and finish a sketch, don’t leave it without an ending, or halfway through without completing – bad habits die hard
- If you find that the sketch isn’t funny all the way through- back up to the part where it stops being funny, and take another path with the sketch, another track is sometimes exactly what it will need.
- Watch other comedy examples – sketch, stand-up, sitcoms. Note the things you find funniest and look for patterns
- Find other people that have a similar sense of humor and write together.
- Find someone else on Sketchl.tv and see if you can start up a virtual comedy group
- Take a class at a local comedy theater, or theater group
