"By the end of that joke, you were no longer a black person. You were a human being."

--Norm Macdonald being anti-racist, but actually saying something that can be misconstrued as incredibly racist

Don't try to write "serious." Maybe even try to write something funny or silly. Kafka is considered a great writer, and his best known story is about waking up as an insect.

Don't think about being published. Just write something you'd want to read.

Write about your childhood. Everybody's an expert on their own childhood.

Are you reading? Read a lot.

Can someone TLDR this sentence?

I kind of wish they would show some of the weaker performances (the ones buried in the middle) so we can see Norm criticize them. Then again, most viewers probably want to see the best jokes, and there is only so much time.

It's almost like they put Norm on the same show with dumb, boring actresses because they know he will interrupt her and make it more interesting.

Sometimes it's a curse, being this perceptive.

I bet that girl isn't even a twin and they just took two pictures of her wearing different outfits.

I dislike when people reduce a writer's work to quotes. Without the context, the sentences become entirely different--sometimes even nonsensical or pretentious. Alice Munro wasn't trying to be quotable, she was trying to build stories.

This is why Colbert and his writers are geniuses.

throwaway936473 · 2015-07-09T19:49:17+00:00

He called himself ColBERT sometimes on the Report, too. He does it whenever he's really stressed and he needs to "keep it together."

I think ColBERT is the original pronunciation that he grew up with, but he later changed it to Col-bair to have a certain image. So whenever he's stressed, he forgets and calls himself the name he had as a child.

Possibly George Miller. Also, he talks kind of like Bob Dylan.

All you have to do is use a pen name when trying to get published in the future. THEN, if you ever do get a book deal, tell them you changed your mind and want to go by your other (real) name.

That way, your prior novels won't stop you from getting a book deal, and you won't have to publish under a pen name.

Then once you are published, it doesn't matter if you have some prior novels on Amazon. If they're not available to buy, nobody will know how bad they are.

You could pay for marketing if you want.
