![DC Comedy Writers Group: Core Competence https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9969288414
Icebreaker: Attributes and Actions of Annoying People.
Examples: I don’t trust people who say “no worries.” That’s what you say when there are several worries.
Don’t stop in a doorway to keep talking; if you do, imagine there’s another episode “to be continued and keep walking.
If you have advice I haven't asked for, you know you’re going to give it to me anyway; you don’t have to treat it like a Christmas present and wrap it up for me.
Exercise: Core Competence Clueless people sometimes expect a lot of recognition for very small acts or gestures. Follow this formula for a joke…
[Major act]? [Hero label]. [Minor act]? [Bare-minimum competence]. [Optional Deflation tag].
Bench pressing 150 pounds? Beast mode. Returning the dumbbell to the rack? Housebroken. No treat.
Rescuing a dog from a burning building? Selflessness. Picking up your own dog’s crap? Civilized, not Sainthood.
Landing a plane in an emergency? Nerves of steel. Using your blinker? Mild awareness of others. Try not to faint from your own excellence.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:53zitqnhywvumaxvqmw4xwsu/bafkreifsbdhkqbbt75dwqst4ojrxrhq7reecs5t7dhq2y2lbtmtgnt3ahq)

DC Comedy Writers Group: The Nuclear Option https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9969288414 Icebreaker: Some small problem in your life (fact or fiction) that provokes an over-the-top reaction. Examples: I wrote one bad opening sentence and lost faith in the paragraph. I misspelled broccoli on the grocery list, and frankly, it’s not in my life anymore. I knit one wrong stitch in row four and had to go to confession to seek forgiveness from God. The priest looked at the scarf and would not give me absolution. Exercise: Start Over. Write jokes where repeated restarting is the real problem. Examples: I’ve restarted my computer so many times that my CPU hyperventilates. I don’t write thank-you cards. I outsource legibility. I buy thank-you cards in bulk so my handwriting doesn’t get a vote. I don’t repeat self-destructive patterns. I relaunch them. They get version numbers: Bad Boyfriend 7.6.1

DC Comedy Writers Group: Trash Talk https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9969288414 Icebreaker: What’s in your junk drawer? Examples: Menus from take-out restaurants when all I do is order from Uber Eats. A broken chain, knotted, that I swore I would straighten out someday, like my life. All of the dried-up pens that I stole from work. Exercise: Personify your trash can. Allow it to judge you or give you unsolicited advice. Examples: You say you’re decluttering, but you just moved it to recycling like a coward. I don’t stink. What you are smelling is the truth that you don’t want to face. Compost is just a hippy word for rotting vegetables. (If the exercise does not spark joy, use the idea of trash as an inspiration for jokes.)
Trash can that talks.
