Writing that elicits smiles, giggles, & guffaws delights readers, editors, & publishers.
Comic relief is essential for heightening the drama in works that are:
-Dark (horror &suspense)
-Tense (action, true crime, & mystery)
-Sad (stories about abuse, death, & loss)Dollops of humor make information-packed articles, essays, textbooks more inviting; they jazz up boring transitional scenes in novels.
Writers without a funny bone & lifelong jokesters alike will learn the craft of lightening & brightening text. Via the hands-on exercises, they’ll discover that they can write humor!
Humor writing is as easy as one-two-three. As easy as do-re-mi. Or make that: Humor writing is as easy as counting, humming, and bedpan emptying. And it’s a lot more fun!
Let the smiles begin!
