It's an intangible thing, this thing we call talent, especially if we're in a position to teach and mentor others.
My job is to put words together and tell a story. If that doesn't work for you, it's not a war crime.
I've been very lucky. I've written for most of my idols and the contemporaries.
I write. This is what I do. My job is to sit down with my vocabulary, select words, and decide what order they should be placed in an attempt to keep someone's attention and perhaps provide them with a laugh or two along the way.
I wasn't a class clown, I just found at an early age that I was able to make people laugh. So I mostly wrote funny stuff instead of writing what I was supposed to be writing.
