I planned to go to your show with Maude, but I had just finished working 3 nights in a row (nurse), and my body would not cooperate! I slept 19 out of 24 hours. I just could not make myself stop sleeping. Loved the comments about humor, one of my favorite things in the entire world. I will not miss your next show: I hope that you do another one soon in Santa Barbara. Blessings, Polly!

I'm not a humorist, but some of the things that have ended up in my books are funny, and I don't know until after the fact.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994224166378180353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396875931357506685.post-59621329528040069082010-09-01T09:05:04.379-07:002010-09-01T09:05:04.379-07:00I love this, Polly!

Your story about the insensitive woman made me smile/tear up at the same time--my favorite emotional response to the written word is that laugh/cry impulse. And I love your analysis of where "funny" comes from--it's a terrific reminder for me, as a fiction writer, to approach all characters (even the ones whose actions generate humor) with respect.Tanya Egan Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04913976593338225522noreply@blogger.com
