I'm constantly being asked for information about the writing process. Anyone who's read my column knows that winging it is one way to do it, but I much prefer being able to answer questions by pointing to an expert.

This section of our website will show interviews and sage advice from actual people who have experienced the agonies of the writing process.

What agonies?
As Larry Gelbart says, "The best time to write comedy is when you are in pain...
during your waking hours."
That statement applies to any kind of writing as far as I'm concerned.

If it's such a pain, why do we do it?
Because we can't stop.

Keep a watch on this page for tips and tricks on the craft of writing.
