catalyst2Jane Espenson's blog had a great entry today on writing about loss of dignity, a subject dear to my heart as I am so good at it (losing my dignity, that is, not writing about it!).
These lines sum it up perfectly, I think:
"The kind of humor I've been talking about is just a few degrees skewed from poignancy, a point well understood by anyone who's ever had the misfortune to get very angry while wearing a chipmunk costume. It's funny if you're not the chipmunk, it's terrible if you are."
