Creative Narrative Drafting
Build the premise
A parody imitates recognisable features of a form, institution or behaviour, then uses humour to expose an idea or contradiction. Aim your humour at choices, systems or habits rather than at people’s identities.
- The way people use rules and rankings to make a simple activity seem important
- The appearance or accent of a particular community member
- A real cultural tradition treated as ridiculous
- The colour of the teacups, with no connection to rules or status-seeking
Shape voice and technique
Choose a narrative voice and make deliberate choices about how the language imitates its target. Contrast, understatement and exaggerated formality can create humour while keeping the underlying idea clear.
- The kettle clicked, and Mara poured the water.
- At precisely 9.00 am, the Committee commenced its historic inquiry into the temperature of the water.
- Mara liked tea because it was warm.
- Rain tapped softly on the hall windows.
- However
- Meanwhile
- Consequently
- Similarly
- Show events happening at the same time
- Show a likeness
- Show contrast
- Show a result
Draft and refine
Use your plan to write an opening that establishes a setting, introduces a point of view and hints at the story’s satirical target. Then check whether the humour supports the idea you want readers to consider.
- Add more jokes without changing anything else.
- Clarify what behaviour or system the narrator’s experience exposes.
- Remove the complication and end immediately.
- Add a character from a different cultural group as the target.
