How to Write Funny: Putting Humor into Fiction - Workshop

How to Write Fiction: A Workshop to Help Add Humor to Your Stories
Humorous writing can sometimes seem like a either a born talent or a sudden - sometimes seldom given - gift. It might feel that way when you're plodding along in a scene and something hilarious happens. Rest assured this is your Right Brain - your Muse - and humor is yet another skill you can learn, a muscle you can work out and build over time.
In this episode I (host Rebecca Galardo) ask questions from Holly's free worksheets (found in the show notes for this episode at AloneWithInvisiblePeople.com) and Holly's walks us through her plot and different possibilities to add humor. You can listen along and we'd love to see what you'd come up with for Holly's ideas (join us in the forums) or take the worksheet to your current work and see how you can retrofit it.

How to Write Fiction: A Workshop on Creating Story Arcs for Novels
You might know how to write a scene, but what about story or plot arcs? How do you tie in those larger story elements within the book while also working on the other parts of the scenes? How do you plan those? How do you include more than just the minimuma scene needs without going overboard with exposition on your larger-than-a-single-scene-level conflicts?
This episode was inspired by a great question in the forums after How to Keep Your Scenes on Target.
Download the free workshop, print (or save ink and answer the questions with pen in a notebook) and get to writing!
