I love how you took something good that was already making me laugh (Matt’s draft), and made it much stronger.
My reaction to Matt: this is a funny idea. I bet I could take this somewhere in my voice.
My reaction to your punch-up: this is so strong, I might as well just retire now, because I’m not even going to be able to land a glove on this lady.
My eventual conclusion: stop being a baby, she explained exactly what she did. The explanation makes sense. I can do it my own way, which would begin by omitting the word “chucklefuckers.” (Can we just admit that it’s a little played out at this point? To be fair, it was fresh when Shakespeare had Hamlet say it.)
Thanks for including me in your article! That was fun to read. I think you're totally right about the emotion being boredom being a difficult one to make funny. I had been toying around with idea of making it much angrier or self loathing, but I haven't quite figured out how to fit it into my persona.
Giving notes on a boring story is a great angle too, I'll play around with that.
dear caroline,
informative and entertaining as always!
i love the chunk of thoughts that starts with "I’m currently in a good and stable relationship (BOO!)"
thanks for sharing everything you do!
