Thanks to you, Dorothy. It was great fun. You should know that I have chosen the winner of the giveaway in this high-tech virtual tour by writing everyone’s name on a slip of paper and drawing one out of a brown paper bag. This is my level of technological sophistication. The winner is MAYRA CALVANI – probably because she really hoped she would win it. Just goes to show there’s power in envisioning what you want! Hope you enjoy “The Dog”, Mayra.

Dorothy,
Oops. You asked about getting started in humor writing, and I skipped over that. I agree that finding your own voice is what makes writing easy and fun. Also, humor for me is a genre that syncs with my personal philosophy that it’s more energizing and even efficient to look on the upside of things. I blame this on my mother, who drove us all nuts with her optimism. She even tried to convince me once that a colonoscopy prep solution “doesn’t taste all that bad.” After that, I didn’t take much stock in her rave reviews of my cooking. She was right, though, that stepping back and finding the positive is extremely helpful. She’s gone, but I’m very lucky to have that little tape still playing in my head.
