The clown at a birthday party, a Broadway show, a stadium rock concert, or your friends fighting over the last potato chip—all of these are forms of entertaiment. It comes from the French word entretenir, which means to hold together, and it refers to amusement or distraction. You can write about any form of entertainment that interests you, from up-and-coming video games to 200-year-old classics to what’s happening with the Kardashians.
When writing about any kind of entertainment, remember to engage the senses—show, don’t tell. Painting pictures with words will transport your reader into the story, making it more immersive and engaging. Using humor and wit is a great way to lighten up your entertainment writing. Also, remember to use situational humor. This type of humor is most relatable to your readers.
