#WritersCoffeeClub 03/23—How important is humour in your work? How do you work it in?
Fairly important, as humour tends to be my personal coping mechanism of choice, which translates into my POV characters quite a bit.
Also when I write romance, humour is fun. Also sexy. Like, being funny on the fly is clever, and cleverness is sexy, so my love interests tend to know how to land a joke.
As for the "how" part? That's... hard to articulate.
For the most part, I tend to lean into dialog and internal monologs for humour, and work with that angle through that lens of "coping mechanism" for the most part.
So, drop the character into a situation of some sort, and have the character choose to react via humour.
