I've been thinking about a couple Ideas for short stories in the past couple of days.
I find the notion of trying to formulate "funny" ideas really daunting. I initially though about doing a short film, but decided I would be more comfortable, ultimately, writing something.

In lieu of actually plotting out of ideas I did some exploritory outlining and writing on the two topics.
I had a couple notions:
The first was about what would happen if people started forgetting how to read. It doesn't immediatly leap out as funny but I started writing some pieces and its has funny bits.

The other thing I was writing about was to do with a student. I found it somewhat trite.

I'm having trouble writing something the sole purpose of which is humor rather than which is incidentally humorous.
