Megan Amram parksclubs In the fabric of the show we talk about, life is a lot of little choices, the show helped me realize that going through my day, I am presented with a lot more moral decision-making than I had previously thought. And I try to always make this slightly better choice now. And I think that is what the show is about. It's like, when presented with two things, think about it, and maybe try to make the slightly better choice. Megan Amram top-news The enemy of the modern woman is not women who like fashion or are writing about it. The enemy is stereotypes that come from all places and that tell you to be one way or the other. The enemy is really real sexist people, like Todd Akin, and people who are violent against women physically or sexually. Megan Amram womanyouwomenpeople There might be people who have never even tweeted before who are just working on their great American tweet. It will be so good that we'll all have to stop Twitter right away. I would like to write the great American tweet. I don't think the great American tweet has been written yet. We'd know. Megan Amram greatgoodthinkpeople I feel like I'm as mischievous as you can be while still never wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. I really want everyone to be happy all the time, but I do like seeing what new things you can talk about.

I'm actually applying to work at the Genius Bar based on this trick. Megan Amram yougeniusworkpeople I think very long and hard about every possibly offensive joke I want to make. I really hate mean humor and would hate to make anyone reading my jokes feel truly bad. Megan Amram feelhatehumorlong Support other women!

I'd rather have one that looks weird from the outside but felt really normal. Megan Amram weirdfeelgrowing-uppeople I am in no way a confident person - except when it comes to what I'm writing. It's just like, this is what I can do, and I have what I think is a pretty strong voice, for better or worse. It's the style I like to write in. Megan Amram i-ambetterstylevoice To develop your own voice, you have to keep writing a ton, and this is something where I think Twitter is helpful. I use it to write a ton of jokes. You have to write a ton of bad stuff before you know what you're good at. And that's what some people I think have trouble with, the thought of getting past the bad stuff.

It's very, very collaborative. A lot of comedy writers are definitely introverted nerds. Megan Amram challengebestyoutime I just want to keep doing a bunch of stuff that I don't really plan. I'm so fortunate and lucky that people keep giving me these platforms. Because I'm kind of a crazy person. Megan Amram mecrazygivingpeople I love kale. Genuinely.

I like seeing what hot trends are new this fall. It makes me feel very conflicted a lot of the time. Megan Amram mefashionhottime Tweeting is a great way to practice writing jokes, but there is so much more to comedy writing than just jokes. Jokes are a necessity, but you also have to learn how to write characters, to break a story, to keep coherence between episodes. I've learned more by being a TV writer than I ever could've on my own.
