Short Note
Initially, I thought I’ve written the funniest story in my life – A Story of An Emo Boy Inspired By The Swimming Pool (Part 1). However, the more I read it, the more I realized it wasn’t really as great as I first thought. I think it is very good but not really super brilliant. I don’t deserve a standing ovation for this.
I think I made 4 mistakes while writing this story :
1. I over-emphasized on one-liners
2. I tried too hard to play with words
3. I tried to create a humour revolves around an Emo boy but didn’t give much effort to create funny imaginations in reader’s head in the story line.
4. I was experimenting of using present participle rather than the usual past participle in the writing and for some reasons, I think it diminishes the humour.
The funniest piece of story I’ve written is still A Story Never Told. Having reread it few minutes ago, I wonder if I can ever write something as funny as this again. The reason why this story was so well written was because I purely focused on telling the story in funny twisted ways without needing to play with words and one liners.
Maybe I shouldn’t call what I did as mistakes. I think it is just another way of story writing, just that it is not as funny and effective. The positive I got from this – At least now I know what makes a brilliant Exaggeration story writing and what’s above average.
Part 2 will still be released nevertheless. This Saturday, probably. Philosophical stuffs.
