My latest story is now live on MuddyUm, a wonderful humour page on Medium. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts.
A big thank you to Andrew Rodwin for his editorial eye, and to editor-in-chief, Susan Brearley, for creating and overseeing the site. MuddyUm is clearly a labour of love and a very successful one at that.
This piece is based on a joke I’ve been mulling in my head for years. I’m glad to finally get the thoughts out of my head and onto paper (well, screen).
I’m also happy to announce I’m over 100 followers on Medium and thus eligible for the Medium Partner Program (i.e. to be paid for my work). I think, at least for now, I’ll delay monetizing the page, as that would introduce paywalls to my readers. I’d rather have more people view the stories than make a few dollars. What’s the point of telling jokes if there’s no one there to laugh?
Hope you’re enjoying my pivot to comedy writing. I am definitely enjoying writing in this genre. More to come soon, I hope.
Delightful! Reminds me of the expression, “organized crime”. As opposed to disorganized crime where you can’t find your gun or mask or a parking space, etc. That would make a cute short story too.
