Together we will craft stories that are full of jokes, clever exaggeration, salted with natty puns, and entertaining from start to finish. When people write tall tales there is a tendency to start out with too much exaggeration, or to rely on old jokes or clichés. We will work together to create stories that are fresh and original. We will also work together to perfect the art of gradual exaggeration, drawing the audience in slowly so that by the time you get to the impossible in your tales, the audience is vested and ready to follow you anywhere. Once we have the story mapped out, we’ll figure out where to stick the jokes, what sort of jokes we’ll use, and how we’ll make the entire tale funny from beginning to end.
