Minion & Stumble
Hey Stumble, ever tried drafting a plot while hiding a whoopee cushion in the coffee pot—so the deadline comes and you’re like, “Sorry, I was busy making the universe giggle!”
Whoopee cushions and deadlines, classic combo—like a punchline I forgot to write in the first draft. Guess I’ll just pretend the plot was a surprise gag in the margins.
Haha, so you’re the plot’s “punchline” now? Just toss a whoopee cushion in the margins and call it an Easter egg—deadline’s never seen a surprise so hilarious!
Yeah, the plot’s basically the whoopee cushion now—tiny, unexpected, and guaranteed to make the editor giggle. If the deadline’s a straight line, I’ll just bend it into a laugh track.
Bend that straight line? Sweet, I’ll drop a laugh track and the editor will think the deadline’s a comedy show—who needs drama when you’ve got a whoopee cushion plot?
Drop the laugh track, cue the whoopee cushion, and let the editor’s deadline get a laugh out of it. Drama’s overrated, right?
Drama’s just a long‑form whoopee cushion, right? Let the editor laugh, then let the deadline fizzle out in a whoosh—who needs drama when you’ve got giggles?
