think it - write it
Whenever you think of a gag, yes, write it down, or record it in another way. But once you've organised the words, tell it to friends, family, even strangers.
Particularly share it with people who are real but constructive in their criticism.
Never let a negative comment bring you down, but be wary of flannel, it's utterly worthless.

think it - say it!
Wherever I am when a joke hits me, I write it down. But if there's an opportunity to tell the gag to someone, it's great to do so. You'll learn as you go what works, and as your comedy faculties develop you'll build a reputation for quick-wittedness.
today's gag
This is how it happened.
Mrs P: 'Look! I just bought us a massive tin of soup - 500 mls'
Mr P: 'So that's what the Proclaimers were going on about!'
This is a reference to their song '500 miles'.
My response to the big soup tin was spontaneous. I'm sure that was part of the reason why this gag was funny.
But looking at it, I can see another 2 ways of phrasing the punchline:
'Sounds like a song by the Proclaimers'
and
'What have the Proclaimers got to do with it?'
Perhaps this last one works the best.
Take care folks, and do visit again.
