Actually, the funniest things I hear are from my 13 year old son and I try to write down as many conversations as I can to use in future stories. :)DonnaGalantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936331145444649588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-90029418891565631062016-10-04T10:43:47.201-05:002016-10-04T10:43:47.201-05:00I've never been accused of being funny -- just...I've never been accused of being funny -- just silly or corny -- so to hear my editor call my February 2017 book funny has been a thrill! Don't think I could do it again. It was the character, not me. :)Caroline Starr Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597510685273079757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-701632461348394892016-10-03T17:20:54.673-05:002016-10-03T17:20:54.673-05:00Thanks, Jim--I'll pick up a copy of Dan O'...Thanks, Jim--I'll pick up a copy of Dan O'Shannon's book. Other resources: Mel Helitzer's book, Comedy Writing Secrets, is pretty good, and Mitch Earleywine's Comedy 101 is a readable introduction to some humor theory (with a more academic bent.) John Kachuba's How to Write Funny has a lot of good chapters, and seems much more useful to comedy writers than Mike Sacks' book.

I appreciate the number of resources you've provided for those of us who may not "feel the funny" as naturally as others. :)Shannon O'Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299313309059235876noreply@blogger.com
