I just met a guy who actually lives "In a van down by the river"

[HEyHEY]

He announced it with no shame and didn't seem to ever have heard of the old joke. It was one of those moments where you really have to eat your own laughter.

8. Hey journalist

Any tips for me when I take it this year? I got my schedule today and I have it first period. BTW thats hilarious shit.

[HEyHEY]

11. Advice? Well for starters

Don't procrastinate. And remember that at first it will not be easy. Avoid editorial comments in "serious" stories, and also throw all your creativity out the window..... find a way to enjoy the writing on a different level than being creative.

12. Thanks and I PMed you back

Should I try to add humor, I like having a sense of humor in my writing.
