Problems I've Found With my Writing · 3:45am Jan 27th, 2014
I've found that no matter how hard I try, I can never seem to write anything with comedic value.
I try, like I did in the second chapter with MPWFoE, but I never really even snickered at my own work, which led me to doubt myself in the long run; yet post the chapter anyway.
Of course, it went a little better than I expected, but my biggest problem is comedic work. I can't seem to find any place for comedy in my brain.
Give me something serious to write about, and I'll do it easily.
Give me something funny to write about, and you'll never see it.
Another problem is that I often seem to find that I need to re-read my own things several dozens of times in order to find errors or whatnot that sneak their way into my writing; specifically, continuity is one of said things. I can't write a steady progression of multiple days passing because my brain forces out 90% of my day as useless lately, so I have absolutely no idea how to pull off anything coherent.
Sure, I can write about small things, little things that occur in a single day, but I have a much harder time writing anything longer than that.
A lot of the time, whenever I try to find room for comedy in anything I write, my brain seems to go crawl back into the dark corner of nothingness. Everything that deviates from the normal everyday occurrences, my brain marks as awkward and unwanted; thus I can't bring comedy to myself.
For instance, I was watching the season four episode: Flight to the Finish.
The entire time that they were first introducing Rainbow Dash to their performance, I wanted to just shut the audio off, or skip ahead because I was so embarrassed by the situation. I don't know why exactly, it's just... my brain marks it off as a really silly thing that could have been avoided.
Possibly my fear of preforming anything in-front of anyone kinda kicked in, but it's just the performance part where they were showing RD.
The entire time, I just recoiled back into my seat and wanted no part in it.
Is that strange?
Either way... I stand by this statement, no matter how awkward I may feel.
"If I can make one person smile, it's enough for me."
Even though I may never fulfill that role.
