    So you are about to start writing and you get a humongus brainfart. Well that's me. And I can't express my sense of humor (it's big) thru the writing because I guess either you got it or you don't? Can someone give me some tips on how to write good humor related articles and what should I avoid and what I should do more of.

    Just make sure it tickles your readers funny side and not yours. What you think funny for yourself might not be funny to them. Good luck.. :)

    I would say have someone else look at it. However, I'm the type of writer that is very tempermental. I'll put it out there if I like it. I just hope those with like minded humor find me. Not necessarily a good way to think of doing business since the customer or potential readers have to be first in your mind.
