How to Write Funny

4 Sessions

Since the earliest hieroglyphics, people have been injecting humor into their writing. (Bird, bird, eyeball, guy facing left!) When used correctly, humor can help you win over your audience, get your point across, or diffuse a tense situation. When used incorrectly, it can have the opposite effect. This class will examine various types of humor, and how and when to use them effectively, through a mixture of lecture, class discussion, and writing prompts and exercises. Perfect for anyone writing in any genre!
