![]() ![]() I’m going to borrow from my history as a nurse and a conversation I had with a male physician about labor pain. I think the response to both of these statements is to try to infuse humor, even if you aren’t naturally funny, even if you are writing about very, very difficult topics. I’ve been teaching writing for a long time now and I often hear some version of this statement, “I’m not funny so I don’t even try to write humor into my books,” or “My books are about very dark topics and I’m not sure humor would fit in the story line.” Want to write funny but don’t think you’re funny? Ann has something to say about that. ![]() You can learn more about Ann on her website, and by following her on Twitter. ![]() We’re so pleased Ann Garvin has stopped by Writer Unboxed today!
