Writing has been fun so far, because it makes it easier to say some things I maybe wouldn’t in conversation.
|
||
These might be ideas that are just hard to come up with on the spot, or ways of putting things that I would find awkward to say out loud.
|
||
One thing I’ve been pondering lately, though, is that my written persona has almost no sense of humor.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
In my daily life, I think I have a fairly functioning sense of humor, albeit a strange one.
|
||
I wouldn’t say I’m usually the funniest in the room, but when I’m in the mood to crack jokes, I can get on a roll with it.
|
||
In any case, I can reliably amuse myself with my sense of humor, which is the most important part of having one.

|
||
My humor maybe doesn’t transfer well to the written word.
|
||
A lot of the jokes I make are situational, in direct reaction to what’s going on around me.
|
||
I like to do funny voices and characters, which are bound to my specific voice and body and therefore hard to transfer to text.
|
||
In writing, I make an effort to avoid ambiguity or confusion (probably a result of writing mainly for school), which is kind of contrary to being funny.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Also, when joking in real life, I play off the energy of the people I’m talking with.
|
||
For me, a good joke is usually just an opportunity that presents itself in the natural flow of conversation.
|
||
When I’m sitting alone writing, humor doesn’t feel as natural, because I don’t know who I’m talking to and I’m not getting any feedback.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
I’ve always been pretty reserved online.
|
||
Growing up, my parents warned me that anyone can see what you post on the internet, and I always took that seriously.
|
||
In fact, this writing challenge is probably the most I’ve ever shared about myself online.
|
||
One of the things I’d like to learn with the challenge is how to express more of my personality when writing.
|
||
Hopefully, with time, I’ll loosen up and find a way to crack a few jokes on here.
|
||

|
||
Are you more funny in person or in writing?
|
||
Do you have a different sense of humor between the two?
|
||
What did you really think of my attempt at humor?
