So... I, along with a handful of New York comedians, have decided to sign up for National Sketch Writing Month. We will attempt to write one sketch a day for the month of September.
You may recognize this as a blatant rip-off of/homage to National Novel Writing Month, an admirable if quixotic endeavor I have failed to complete on several occasions. I hope to have a little more luck with this. Sketch writing is much easier for me than writing prose, and besides, who has time to do anything in November?
I'm in a New York-based sketch group called Secret Hospital. I'm proud of the work we do, though I'm not nearly as prolific a writer as I wish I were. Michael and I have decided to take on this challenge. Maybe out of 60 sketches between the two of us, two or three will be usable. I kind of feel as if I need some added incentive, though, so I'm going to suggest to Michael that we each lose a finger for every day we don't write a sketch.
I'm thinking of quitting drinking for September, too. Michael was a little too anxious to voice his approval that I do so. Hmm.
So, there you have it! Starting Monday, check this site daily for bad sketches and tons of complaining!
