RE: Top 8 Reasons Why Steem Will Succeed (Warning: Dark Humor)

in #steemit6 years ago

haha I find long pieces to be quite dull to write, and likely to read too
not difficult, just draining

short punchlines are not easy either tho, but in a fun challenging way. you can be a pretty funny guy in conversation, but there's still a learning curve when it comes to writing jokes and memes etc.

I wonder how you feel about writing comedy

Sort:  

Yeah, I agree. I'm more drained at the lack of interaction than writing long posts haha! It's cool though, to each their own, I guess.

Is this directed at me or "you" as a hypothetical concept? This is the thing I hate about English. They could've just went with a different word for each instead of piling everything on "you." Personally, I enjoy the freedom of letting myself loose in the comments section. It's way easier when you're bouncing off other people.

I love comedy, though I can't say the same about comedy's affections for me. I'm quite known as a trickster IRL, it's only in Steemit where I get to act serious.

haha I meant 'you' in the general case, so everyone, including me
it's probably why I see a lot of funny comments but much fewer funny posts
I don't know if it's harder if you have nothing to bounce off of, but it's certainly different
I stare at a blank wall for a long time until something funny pops into my mind, not sure if that's for everyone

Haha yeah, I figured. I do the same thing some times. Really though, it's case to case basis for me. I get story ideas from washing dishes and watching clouds, not at the same time of course.
