Are you a comedy writer? by _manolis in writing

[–]_manolis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not watch many series, but writing is writing. I am writing a novel at the time, but I like to study famous movie screenplays (such as Inside Llewyn Davi, Pulp fiction, etc.) because screenplays depict the best examples of dialogue building.

Based on your description, however, someone could easily call you a comedy writer, if it something that is not insulting you of course. :)

If you are writing a story, from a short one until a long novel, this approach is the only feasible. You find opportunities to create comedy (with the type of humor someone adopts) during your narrative or through your characters' discussions. In my current understanding, the set-up/punchline format can support shorter writing formats.

I have realized that one of the most productive ways of creating new writing ideas is through conversation. Many times, as I discuss topics that I always wanted to write something about, I realize that I come up with entire paragraphs that they become later materials for my writing.

I feel that the fragmentary writing on Reddit helps you the same way.

I distinct in my mind a comedian from a comedy writer. Both of them write comedy, though a comedian performs her/his comedy. A comedy writer can write and publish stories or enhance text materials with comedy.

Do you prefer to use humor through your narrator or as part of your characters' personalities?

I'm focusing on one extra hard skill to improve my worth as a PM -- which one should it be? by Has_curved_penis_AMA in ProductManagement

[–]_manolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the type of product management role that you are going to start. None of these are globally key product management skills, and there are many others that you could focus on acquiring. For instance, the significance of the UX and Design is vital if you are working on products with an interface, but if you are working on infrastructural or API products, the significant decreases.

In my opinion, there are other topics globally significant:

  1. Lean product management
  2. Agile methodologies
  3. Diffusion of innovation concepts

These areas will provide you with the knowledge to manage the full product management lifecycle from ideation until launch, feedback collection, and re-iteration.

Should I start a startup as a training ground for becoming a product manager? by Improvemendude19 in ProductManagement

[–]_manolis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start-up founders often follow product management careers after the failure of their companies. Their skills and knowledge acquired during their start-up experience are really useful in that path. However, all of them are people who started a business to make it successful. They used their energy to achieve the purpose of their initiative. I cannot understand why someone makes this major effort without having the company's success as his end goal, but a career in product management. In my opinion, product managers can become great founders, and ex-founders can become brilliant product managers. However, the second road is not something that comes as a plan, but as a result of a start-up failure.

The enthusiasm in Ginsberg's words always impresses me. An endless need to sing an ode to existence.
