Having Angelique Perrin in the class last week was great. Even though we're not posting the stories on the blog, I hope we will get to see each others' work--I'm really curious to see different peoples' unique approach to the story.
Although we're not writing until Tuesday, I've decided I'm going to try my hand at humor-writing. The other day I was reading a review in a magazine, and I was struck by the way in which it was written: it wasn't just informative, it was amusing. I've incorporated humor into writing before in personal essays and fiction, but I haven't done it with feature writing yet. After all, aren't we taking this class so that we can convey a story while entertaining our readers?
Artistic wording is the method I've worked with so far, but with Angelique's story I think it would be great if I can add some humor to the mix. Hopefully my story will be as entertaining to read as it was to listen to Angelique speak.
