Barry was telling me the other day that he wanted the bloggers at the wurk network to write edgier material. At first, I wasn’t even really sure what he was talking about. Did he want us to be snarky? You know how I feel about that.

Screenwriter John August defines “edgy” as:

A term used to describe a story or writing style that is unusually unsettling, exciting, or dark. Everyone claims to want edgy material, but then they end up making generic comedies.

Hmmm. Sounds like a tricky method.

Regardless, Barry’s comment gave me the kick in the pants I needed. Over the past few months, I’d gotten in a rut of simply regurgitating the news and sharing less of my thoughts and feelings. Now I’m back: thinking, processing, and, hopefully, more provocative than ever.

Have you noticed a difference?
