    Question about 'growing' my sense of humor.

    I think being silly is very different from being funny. I'd look to comedians that you find funny and work out what they do and if you can add that to what you want to do.

    City details

    Once I know the rough type of place I’m thinking about, I tend to leave a lot of that stuff blank. Unless there is a plot point to it, I’m going to assume that a city has what it needs to trundle along. But things will not be even across the city. A poor area is maybe going to have more old...
