Your Challenge: Write something playful, funny, or offbeat. Try a story with a twist, a pun-filled piece, or something with absurd honesty.

Or you could try writing dad jokes. Honestly, it’s harder than it looks, but when you get one, it can be funny enough to make your week.

Like this one for my Menopause Effect newsletter (my hat's off to Eli Wood for this one).

Need a joke to lift your mood?

Q: What was the menopausal woman’s favorite food?

A: Chili

Or here’s an example of just plain weird:

“The client ghosted me. So naturally, I wrote them a haiku.”

Humor is a muscle. Stretch it. Surprise yourself.

And don’t forget—your next client could be one click away: 👉 https://www.freelancewritersonline.com/paid-freelance-writing-opportunities

All the best.
