It's hard to stick to a publishing schedule...

When I keep having to pause in my writing to wheeze with laughter.

Don't take this the wrong way, but my sense of humour cracks me up. I suppose that's a good thing, since hating ones own humour would be awful, but I find myself to be the living end. Whether it's funny ho-ho or funny ha-ha, any time I look back over earlier works, I end up wheezing with laughter and can't believe I wrote that.

The chapter I am working on contains plenty of graphic sex, for sure, but the rampant insanity and humour is off the hook, even by my standards. And it's probably ten thousand words longer than it would otherwise be, if it weren't for the comedy.

Of course, I wouldn't be writing this chapter without the comedy.

Then again, how often do two lesbians in Godzilla suits get into highway chases and gun battles with the yakuza over a high-tech dildo?

It just gets weirder from there, to be honest.

Ruminating, Bisque-H Style (to quote Jason). Does your sense of humour ever get the better of you and put you behind schedule? Am I alone in this syndrome?

Humour is like a sneeze. I eventually get over it.

Or maybe I'm not that funny. :/

Because my humor is pretty much sarcastic one liners -and occasional bad dad jokes-it doesn't seem to ever take over a story.

I do, however, have to work to keep a couple of my characters from acting like that though so they don't all sound the same.

But that works because they're usually the foils for the smart mouths.

I'm going to have to tune in to this one. No such laugh-fest with my story, though goodness knows I have a hard enough time staying on any kind of writing/publication schedule for all other sorts of reasons.

I understand Lord Byron believed this was the mark of an organised mind. Do you have an organised mind, by any chance?

I could stand to be perceived as a Byronic-style author...

 

[JasonClearwater]

Yeah, but Lord Byron also was often described as the most flamboyant and notorious of the major Romantics, Byron was both celebrated and castigated in his life for his aristocratic excesses, which included huge debts, numerous love affairs with both men and women, as well as rumors of a scandalous liaison with his half-sister.

I got that off Wiki, and it had a mini reference #4 floating over statement, so you know it's true.

Actually, I was mis-attributing a quote to Byron there, having a laugh at/with ThatsTheGuy attributing the same quote to the wrong Samuel.

Byron was fucked in the head, bless.

That's how I think of you. *fist bump*

Try to be Byronic, probably come across as Woody Allen... :/

Hey, wait! Don't you have a Geek Day commitment? Stick that Byronic nose to the grindstone!
