Finding your specialty as a writer evolves over time. That as well as style makes a writer distinctive. My passion is writing humor more than anything else. I strive to write original, creative material for jokes, scripts, ideas for TV sitcoms, and comedy sketches. Making people laugh with consistency is no easy task. Receiving constant feedback though helps tremendously. As a comedy writer you have to learn what hits and misses with your audience.

Relating to personal or everday situations by using satire or sarcasm invokes laughter and sometimes exaggeration in a certain tone works too. I learn to write humor a lot through observation. Sure I get material from popular topics and current events, but with observation you get to know about different types of people like how they talk, walk, act, look, work, and many other characteristics. Mannerisms are picked up such as how a person talks with their hands or has a habit of blinking their eye lids. People with accents are imitated, so are celebrities, family, friends, and neighbors. People serve as a source of inspiration to write comedy. That's where it develops. Making people bust out laughing is one the greatest feeling in the world.
