  9. Just worked with a writing coaching client, and applied some of Aristotle's Poetics to a half hour comedy pilot, and we gained useful, actionable insights. Very old school and very cool.

  19. While I write my blog articles, sometimes things come up that I'd not thought of before.

    For instance, I think every writer should learn comedy writing and how jokes work. If you have that knowledge, even if you're not writing comedy, you can slip a quick little jokey joke into your manuscript.
