There is another Storyblogging Carnival up at Back of the Envelope, which includes a short story about Mad Kane’s interview with John Mortimer. I loved the part when she asks him what’s harder to writer, tragedy or comedy:
“Comedy,” he answered without hesitation. “It is very easy to make people cry, be sad, be miserable. Farce is an incredibly difficult genre. Comedy requires enormous imagination. There are quite a lot of great tragedies, and there aren’t many great comedies.”
Now, if that is too highfalutin’ for you then I recommend you go check out the 100-word story, Professor Fangboner, another fine effort from Name Your Tale.
