When you were trying to do standup, all day you were keeping your eyes and ears out for ridiculous shit to comment on right?
You can still do that. Just make a story about it.
YOU ARE NOT USING YOUR 100,000 FOLLOWERS. You put up a new sketch every few days and ~a story a day.
Quantity over quality. Different over the usual. Unload, on the public, everything you think is silly and seriously-fucked-up about life. It doesn't have to be perfect.
From the hip comedy.
"While you are afraid of saying something stupid, someone stupid is saying something".
The things that go viral are rarely worked on. They just happened to record it and put it up cause whatever.
*****
To consider is fix from memory. To plan is work on from experience. You should create more and think less.
Reach for every idea like you're launching mortars and lobbing grenades at the gate keeping you out of the Met Gala.
Fire!
Done, done and you're on to the next one. Done, done and you're on to the next one.
YOU WANT INSIDE FORT FAME. YOU GOTTA HIT THAT GODDAMN THING WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE FROM EVERY ANGLE.
*****
Your favorite artist put a ton of work into painting other people's conceptions.
Roy Lichtenstein.
Meticulous forgery.
My favorite artist put no work into painting something totally original.
Jackson Pollock.
Machine-gun originality.
*****
Your apartment shows that characteristic.
Your walls are mostly bare. You choose what you display very carefully.
My walls are covered. With whatever, including my own graffiti. Sometimes I work on a look but get something up in all that blank space of your expression.
You are not using momentum, being too shy to splatter.
