I have always said that you could be a stand up comedian BigCyp. Comedy comes natural to you. I know you have also got a serious side too and I think that you should follow your heart and just go for it.

Instead of writing and hoping for a book deal, why not just write chapters and later edit in book format and e-publish it yourself? Lots of people do that. As long as you don't expect to become the next Jackie Collins you should be happy.

Nice bike Mike, would you say it's safe overnight storing it like that?

Banter to you is just one line insults devoid of any intelligent thought.
You wont be missed.

Well, you'll need an angle to stand out among the other million bloggers who think they're the next Louis CK. Good luck.

Stop trying to 'project' as you sit seething at your keyboard unsure of what the future holds.

you are absolutely hilaroius and very smart guy,and spontaneus humour.

what you need is not a blog,but a good promoter.

but comedy business -sadly- dont work like that,unless you get to self promote and fill locations, ussualy its a staff team with joke writers, a pr agency and then a semi artist,semi comedian presenting the jokes from the jokes wwriters.

agreed

Nothing ventured, ... capital saved.

But honestly, go for it. There's never been a better time to be a writer. Self-publish until the big names come calling. Doesn't cost you anything and, as I'm assuming this is a hobby for you, you won't mind putting in a lot of unpaid hours.

Just don't give up your day job yet. Do it like me: get a day job that allows you to fritter away your hours on GB -- or on your writing.

I actually started writing a novel zombie novel (one not set in the US, funny, and without ridiculous weaponry), but quit after page 1. Zombies are so played out. Trying to think of something new.

That is because every other Zombie film is just about dead walking like retards, or running and screeching like retards, whereas George Romero was making a point/making fun of society while scary us a bit

One particular genre of movie I always feel I could write better than Hollywood is comedy, I mean when was the last time you really, REALLY laughed?I think the last for me was Borat, and before that I can't even remember.Maybe it's blind naivety but how hard can it really be to get a few laughs?same with TV commercials, it gets extremely irritating watching the crap forced humor that is completely unfunny over and over ,that its actually a talking point and surprise when you see a good one.
