Reading is That Girl (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They say when you’re stuck in a creative rut, you need to fill your well. Go outside, have some experiences, or take in more art. As you know, I watch a lot of TV, so I take in that form of art all the time, but I’ve recently fallen back in love with a habit I usually shame myself for not doing more of…reading!Lately I’ve been on a reading kick and the inspiration came from somewhere I didn’t expect: a comic book. This is your sign to get back into reading and explore different mediums.Subscr
Comedy Chops with Carl Tart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s a busy afternoon in Studio City when I meet Carl Tart for coffee and discover he actually doesn’t drink the stuff. This is a rare occurrence. I hardly partake myself, often opting for tea instead, but finding out that a writer for Saturday Night Live, the show famous for its gruesome work hours, does not drink caffeine feels particularly shocking.

I have published once a week for most of the year, aside from some vacations and holidays, for two whole years! It has become a habit ingrained in me. No matter how tired or busy I feel, every week I think, “I need to write Paige’s Prose.” It has become a place of expression, deep diving, and connecting in ways I didn’t expect. I have grown as a writer and want to
1-900-Y.T.Guilt on In Living Color (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Living Color was not a sketch show I grew up on, but one I would hear about frequently in comedy history. I’ve since done my homework and seen some episodes, but they’re rather hard to find. I never catch them airing reruns whenever I’m in a place with cable. You have to hunt them down in corners online. I need to buckle down and find a DVD box set somewhere so I can really see it in its totality.Recently, a clip of this In Living Color sketch was sent to me. It was genius. I had to find the
