[A Willing Pen]

When you write hyperbole, people will have to be obtuse not to get the humour. I find the best way to write humour is to go from the subtle to the extreme; you’ll have the smart ones cottoning on immediately and smiling in appreciation and with time you’ll have the whole audience joining in.

Example: I’m staring at a blank screen for the longest time ever. Life has never been so boring, so run-of-the-mill. What on earth can I write about?
