Yes, I've snickered a few times at stuff I've written--it's nice when it happens without effort. <br /><br />Sarcasm--going to touch on that one next time I continue this exploration of humor in voice.

I re-e-eally understand your comment on 'things pop into my brain and out my fingers...unfiltered.' I have to go back and filter the stuff coming out of my brain or it might not be so funny. You'll understand if you're an air sign (see my astrology/tarot posts) like I am. What flutters around in my mind does not always translate well verbally (without filtering). ha.Corahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513930284591250364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-9213839625814226352012-03-21T05:10:24.068-07:002012-03-21T05:10:24.068-07:00Wow...you know, I struggle with humor too, but I u...Wow...you know, I struggle with humor too, but I usually don't realize I've really used any until the edits. Then I'll come across something and snicker or laugh out loud and think - wait. I wrote that? That's kinda funny! I don't think I'm really a funny person, though. I don't. I mean, occasionally I can banter pretty well with my husband. I can be sarcastic, but that isn't always funny. Sometimes it's the opposite of funny. LOL. <br /><br />There's this guy I work with who has the driest humor EVER. He hardly ever smiles. Maybe a slight tug at the corners of his mouth. But he's never serious. It took me a little while to get that about him. A man who's never, ever serious but never even smiles.<br /><br />My husband, on the other hand, is never serious and laughs at himself all the time. LOL. He's like a 12-year old boy in many ways. Seriously. Think 12-year old who's always looking to see his first woman sans clothes, and you've got my husband. LOL. Immature humor. No potty humor though, thank goodness. I'll take immature bedroom humor over potty humor any day. He's also extremely sarcastic. His whole family knows to never take anything he says seriously, pretty much. LOL. But he makes me laugh, which I love.<br /><br />I love it more when I'm able to make HIM laugh. :)<br /><br />Very good post!April Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000526454256802504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-83425114402094370422012-03-21T04:09:45.938-07:002012-03-21T04:09:45.938-07:00What's not to love about the title to this blo...What's not to love about the title to this blog article? That's either a rhetorical question or a poorly worded sentence. Half-caffeinated brain says, "Nothing, it rocks!"<br /><br />You're doing a dang find job finding your voice, Cora. I love the technique you used with strike-through. You get to say whatever pops into your noggin and then restate. If you were on WordPress I'd say something snort worthy and use html code for a strike-through.<br /><br />BTW, I tried to do a test of the strike-through here and got a HUGE red error message. "URL contains illegal characters."<br /><br />I like to think I write with humor. Snark. Things pop into my brain and out my fingers. Sadly, they're unfiltered at times.<br /><br />However, I force myself not to question my voice at the moment. It's a bit like when I used to bowl. Yes. The past tense is intentional. I was well on my way to breaking 100, when someone pointed out that I released the ball with my right hand and right foot forward. So, I tried to correct it. With abysmal gutter-ball results. I chose then to give up bowling. Bad enough to have everyone looking at my rear. Why double the agony with a record-breaking string of gutter balls?<br /><br />I'm in your cheering section as you continue your journey for your voice and humor. If I'm wearing one of my pom-poms on my head, ignore me. I embrace the theory that anything can serve as a hat on a bad hair day.Gloria Richardhttp://gloriarichard.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-48427854349374704262012-03-20T22:48:01.175-07:002012-03-20T22:48:01.175-07:00Thanks for the follow, will be reading your blog i...Thanks for the follow, will be reading your blog in the morning.

Here's my 7 lines from a WIP in revision (the curse word is deleted):<br /><br />“The staff gets nervous when it’s racial, they don’t know if it’s just name calling or if every Chicana and Black will get involved once we get off lockdown. Last time they interviewed a bunch of people.” <br />“What about visiting, will we miss that too?” Belinda voice says from out of her window.<br />“Lock down means nobody goes nowhere, except to the clinic for emergencies. No visits either. If we’re lucky they’ll do a modified and let half of us go in the dayroom and then the other half later.”<br />“I overheard Mrs. Shaffer at the desk. She said the gang information officer was coming to the unit after he interviewed Silent and Chantilla in detention,” Belinda says.<br />“F' that, I don’t need any more problems.” Xochitl says and slammed her window shut.<br /><br />I'll post the 7 I tagged on Twitter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925934256050681032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-54270563820170538282012-03-20T16:34:16.887-07:002012-03-20T16:34:16.887-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925934256050681032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-37310336259396328202012-03-20T16:16:19.859-07:002012-03-20T16:16:19.859-07:00Conundrums of humor-who knew?Conundrums of humor-who knew?Corahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513930284591250364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-66704645422187340062012-03-20T16:15:10.802-07:002012-03-20T16:15:10.802-07:00A fellow writer wandering voiceless in the night.A fellow writer wandering voiceless in the night.Corahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513930284591250364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-3963298497221214952012-03-20T15:26:19.488-07:002012-03-20T15:26:19.488-07:00Wow, I hadn't thought about humor this deeply....Wow, I hadn't thought about humor this deeply.
