One question I get from time to time is “How do you come up with blog topics?” Actually maybe three times ever, but here’s how my process works. Or doesn’t work, but then why are you reading if you think this sucks? My goal is come up with something for people to read during a bowel movement at work.
Shows are the easiest topic to blog about, as long as something weird or funny happens. Example – at my Monday open mike, a fairly newer comic asked the men in the crowd if they ever used a tampon to make their bootyhole (one word or two?) smell better, then seamlessly followed up that joke with a Dr. Who joke. I could do a blog on how to segue, but that example trumps everything else.
My backup is to pick a news topic, like Scottish Independence (already mentioned it), Ebola (not much tee hee there) or hope a celebrity does or says something ridiculous. The problem with the last possible topic is that I generally hate high school drop outs making sweeping societal assessments, so I get pissed and then can’t make it funny. There are days I hope Lindsay Lohan falls off the wagon when I am struggling for a subject. Atta girl, Lindasy, atta girl.
Then there’s always grabbing something out my own life, but if I blogged about ,PlayStation, jogging or what I had for lunch every other day, I think even my mom would quit reading. When all else fails, I do a blog about how I blog and hope it’s 2% funny, which is why I did this, because I have absolutely nothing else. Thanks for reading, now flush, wash your hands and get back to work.
