But, sometimes the audience is rough, and sometimes, I'm even rougher. Who the hell can be funny all the time? I wish I had the ability to be witty on my feet, but I usually am falling flat on my face.<br /><br />Be yourself and blog yourself, funny or not, it's genuine, and all of us can relate to someone who's real! <br /><br />Tamara Lyonhttp://www.tamaralyon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-73747126266644264942012-08-13T10:27:51.891-04:002012-08-13T10:27:51.891-04:00Your blog- you get to write what you want. :) Your blog- you get to write what you want. :) Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-39393881182339527752012-07-30T09:00:11.827-04:002012-07-30T09:00:11.827-04:00Write what you want!Write what you want!Ellen aka Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892924619560880572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-47099699667321797082012-07-29T18:43:01.826-04:002012-07-29T18:43:01.826-04:00You know, it was at EBWW that I realized I am NOT ...You know, it was at EBWW that I realized I am NOT a humor writer. I really thought I was. I am funny, but I am not a humor writer. That realization has been incredibly liberating–so much so that I'm halfway through the roughs on a book.[Insert a bunch of implied stuff here about finding your own unique voice.]In summary, I know what you mean.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644569152748119356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-21363193112296272792012-07-29T04:26:07.096-04:002012-07-29T04:26:07.096-04:00Thank goodness for humor in our life.

We live a pretty nice life in my family and the best part is that most of the time we are laughing hysterically about something or other.<br /> <br />Problem is it just doesn't translate into the written word [on my blog] so I don't even try anymore. I just tell it like it is and if the Tadpoles get it, great. If not, I know they are sitting at their computer, shaking their heads and mumbling "Goof. There she goes again."<br /> <br />They still love me - just as I am sure your friends do too. No one can be "on" all the time, right?<br /> <br />And Erma was the BEST! I still miss her.SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-112587789850706122012-07-29T01:29:54.193-04:002012-07-29T01:29:54.193-04:00Oh my goodness - there are entire weeks that go by...Oh my goodness - there are entire weeks that go by where I don't post because I can't find the funny!
