You Have the Right to Write Rite. Right?

[Read the following, out loud, really fast. Should help you wake up!]

by Anonymous

When you write copy you have the right to copyright the copy you write, if the copy is right. If however, your copy falls over, you must right your copy. If you write religious services you write rite, and have the right to copyright the rite you write.

Very conservative people write right copy, and have the right to copyright the right copy they write. A right wing cleric would write right rite, and has the right to copyright the right rite he has the right to write. His editor has the job of making the right rite copy right before the copyright can be right.

Should Jim Wright decide to write right rite, then Wright would write right rite, which Wright has the right to copyright. Duplicating that rite would copy Wright right rite, and violate copyright, which Wright would have the right to right.

Seven years ago, I played a joke on this blog, and far too many fell for it (and a few were offended). This time, I am going to tell you it is a joke ahead of time and ruin the surprise. This is known as a day when satire like this is okay. _____________ A New Chapter Begins: The Steve Laube Agency Acquired After much prayer, consideration, and a surprising number of Zoom calls involving people …

Why Should Romantasy Have All the Fun?

One of the (many) tasks of Christian writers is to understand genre and the importance of genre in writing and marketing a book. Some genres are more popular than others, of course. Romance and women’s contemporary rule Christian fiction, while Christian living and devotional books are among the more popular genres in Christian nonfiction. But every once in a while, something new pops up. In the …

The Twelve Days of a Writer’s Christmas

You know “The Twelve Days of Christmas” song, right? Do you dislike it as much as I do? Do you turn off the music stream the moment it starts? Do you wish it would be banned from stores and restaurants? Love it or hate it, the song dates back centuries. And, like other delights of the season, such as fruitcake and plum pudding, it came from England. Thanks a lot, mates. But as odd and monotonous …

The Unintentionally Funny Headline

Years ago, I came across the following headline in a publisher-related newsletter: Speculative Authors Fight Mental Illness I thought to myself, I know what they meant by the headline, but could it also be interpreted that authors who write speculative fiction are mentally ill? Some call science fiction and fantasy writers “weird,” but this headline was going too far. So I clicked the …

J’refuse…!

It’s been a minute (as the cool kids say) since writer Émile Zola wrote his open letter “J’accuse…!” (published on January 13, 1898, in the newspaper L’Aurore) accusing France’s government of anti-Semitism in the trial and sentencing of Alfred Dreyfus for espionage. I’m sure you caught the reference in the title above. In my case, however, I’m taking a stand not for a French army …

Proof That English Is an Amazing Language

For some wild reason, this sentence makes perfect sense. “All the faith he had had had had no effect on the outcome of his life.” and “It is true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to.” (“That” one is from The English Club.) and “No word begins with because, because, because is a …

For a quick midweek break, here are some really bad puns for your enjoyment. None are original! Don’t blame me. A chicken and an egg go into a restaurant. The waitress asked, “Which of you is first?” To the guy who invented zero, thanks for nothing. Dogs can’t operate MRI machines. But catscan. What kind of concert only costs 45 cents? A 50 Cent concert featuring …

Today is President’s Day in the U.S. Originally established in 1885 as a recognition of George Washington’s birthday (February 22), it was later expanded to include Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and all other U.S. presidents. Over the centuries, there have been some amusing statements by various U.S. presidents. While you read them, think of how you might work humor into your nonfiction or your …
