I stole someone’s story on Medium

And I’m not even going to try and hide it. Why? It’s a desperate attempt to reach the 100 subscriber mark. I’ve done all the usual things — sky diving without a parachute, bungee jumping without a bungee cord, and once I’d left hospital, eaten chips without a packet. None…

I've written 2 books.

I've written 2 books. One complete, the other nearly complete in pieces. They're terrible, but that's that. If I dedicated myself to writing, I'd like to think I could at least become competent. Currently, like the majority of authors, AI would blow me out the water - and then some. For the future, I'd like to think AI writing is policed.

Writing Television Comedy, by Jerry Rannow

Straight in, you’ll learn that one episode of The Bickersons is better than most current TV comedy. Current was 1999, when computers were faster, cars were less polluting, and Zoom meetings screened at 4X4 pixels. There’s truth in comedy. A quick note. Several words in the book are written in…
