Welcome to the Subscription Edition of A Newsletter of Humorous Writing. Thank you for your support! (And if you’re not already subscribed, you can sign up here.)

Today James talks about the process of writing An Excerpt from a Fantasy Novel Written By an Author Who Thinks He Made Up Doors, gives us a look at an early draft of the piece, and explains how it evolved from there. After that, we’ve got a couple of recommendations of things we’ve been into lately: A short documentary, a window-sill suggestion, and some puzzles. Also, in our next Subscription edition, going out in two weeks, we’ll be talking about one of our big comedy influences: The Onion. If you’ve got memories of The Onion you’d like to share, drop us a line and we may include them in the next subscribers-only newsletter!
