Writing Excuses Episode 21: Humor
from http://www.writingexcuses.com/2008/06/30/writing-excuses-episode-21-humor/
This episode is about humor, how to make people laugh, with a particular focus on writers. How do you write humor, why do we write humor, more suggestions about how to write humor, and a writing prompt to get you started. Now if we can include cute, naughty, bizarre, clever, recognizable, and cruel elements in our jokes, we'll get the laughs. Like a brick doesn't.
( Watch for laughing bricks . . . )
And the writing prompt: write something funny in which strong profanity is appropriate but doesn't happen.
See you next week.
