Insights on Humor, Creative Writing, and Family
You write everything from poetry to short stories to humor on HubPages. What do you enjoy writing the most?
I would have to say short stories. Unfortunately HubPages isn’t ideal for them, though it’s no fault of theirs. Most people don’t Google short stories. I’m working on adapting to the new format. Even writing a few (gasp) serious hubs. Wish me luck!
Congratulations on becoming a new Dad! Do you think being a father will change the way you write?
Definitely. I have one hub titled Why I’m scared to have kids. I guess I wasn’t too scared. Now my time is short and I’ve become a sappy sucker for a drooling smile…whatever that means.
I noticed you include your wife in many of your hubs. What does she think about your writing?
She’s a great sport, even when I throw her under the bus for a laugh. She’s one of the funniest people I know, intentionally or not. As a teacher, she’s been behind the writing since day one, encouraging me every step of the way. She even read one of my Hubs to her 2nd grade class, so it’s a good thing I kept it clean!
You had a “How to Write a Song” series which I really enjoyed. I especially liked “Writing a Rap Song.” Do you have any plans to write more Hubs in the series?
Those were fun! I need to do another series...hmmmm.
You cover a wide variety of topics in your Hubs. Is there any topic you’ve tried to cover but decided against it?
I used to shy away from politics but now it’s gotten to the point where all you can do is laugh. We’re so divided!
When you look back at all your Hubs, which are your three favorites?
My favorite would have to be My interview with my dog. I also like Today’s Superhero and Fun with Spam. I also have a slew of half moons that need to be deleted or fixed. Some of them are quite cringe-worthy.
