A Proper Charlie, out for public comment and I'm getting a gloss over that "it's light", "easy read", "casual", "fun" as if it was easy to write, and other books not in that genre are more literary somehow. It's blimming hard to write funny! So, here's to us who're trying. I’ve put my book (not published yet, any offers?)

You make some great points here and a great article overall. Your suggestion to edit the crap out of your material is something that people new to comedy always overlook. Just about every joke I have ever written has started out being twice as long as the joke that I actually tell on stage. In stand up comedy, we are always editing down. Always making the joke shorter and quicker. However, I have found that when I blog, sometimes my editing can make the blog longer and sometimes my editing makes the blog shorter.

Yes, the topic is something on the serious side, but adding a little humor keeps it interesting, and my audience more attentive and involved. Thanks for sharing this. Helps when I see reassurances from others. I have always tried to add some humor to my writing style, and I usually write about flight instructors teaching others how to fly.
