That's okay. As a writer, it's important to know that not everyone will like your work. <strong>But with the tips below, you can position your comedic story (or scene) for the ultimate effect<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-know-your-genre\">Know Your Genre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Humor shouldn't be relegated to only comedies. In fact, authors in <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/list-of-book-genres\/\">all different genres<\/a> use humor to enhance their stories. But before you start shoving jokes into your work in progress, consider the norms of your genre. What do other authors do? Do you even need comedy in your book? If so, how much?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even works that are considered comedies aren't all jokes. <strong>There need to be peaks and valleys in your story.<\/strong> Because if you're trying to make the reader laugh all the time, they won't be able to catch their breath and settle in for another laughing fit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-humor-through-character\">Humor Through Character<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to convey humor is through one of your <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/character-pov\/\">point of view (POV) characters<\/a>. Maybe your normally stoic main character has a <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/character-quirks\/\">funny habit<\/a> of breaking the tension with an offhand remark or a silly phrase that he says at the most inopportune moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, you may create a whole character whose main purpose is comedic relief. This doesn't have to be a POV character, but it can be. An inside joke between two characters can also work well, provided the reader is in on the joke!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keep-things-natural\">Keep Things Natural<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Readers know when they're being played to. So if you're being funny just for the sake of it, they'll be able to tell. <strong>The humor in your novel or story should have something to do with plot, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/character-development\/\"><strong>character development<\/strong><\/a><strong>, or story.<\/strong> In other words, comedy should arise naturally from the aspects of your story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There's nothing wrong with wanting to make readers laugh, but forcing it will often backfire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-make-it-relatable\">Make it Relatable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most successful stand-up comedians make the mundane hilarious. They take the doldrums of everyday life and provide a new perspective or spin on them. This also works well in storytelling. Sometimes the funniest thing is the one that makes people go, \u201cOh yeah, it is like that!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it be observations about social media, a popular book or TV show, or a twist on the daily grind, it's possible to find comedy all around us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-humorous-books\">Read Humorous Books<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can't expect to sharpen your comedy writing skills without first seeing how other authors do it. The books below are just a few to consider when studying the craft of comedic writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Anything by Christopher Moore (fiction).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anything by David Sedaris (memoir).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy<\/em> by Douglas Adams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Good Omens<\/em> by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Where'd You Go, Bernadette<\/em> by Maria Semple<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Bridget Jones's Diary<\/em> by Helen Fielding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Catch-22<\/em> by Joseph Heller<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>My Sister, the Serial Killer<\/em> by Oyinkan Braithwaite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"standard-cta testimonial\" id=\"cta-block_60b64968000c9\">\r\n    <div class=\"cta-inner row\">\r\n                    <div class=\"cta-media col-md-4\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"cta-media-inner\">\r\n                    \r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/Atticus\" alt=\"Click here to see it in action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">                        \r\n                                                    <i class=\"fa fa-play\"><\/i>\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"img-overlay\"><\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Atticus.png\" alt=\"Atticus - the #1 Book Writing and Formatting Software used by thousands of authors.\" height=\"1384\" width=\"2210\">\r\n                        \r\n                        <\/a>                    <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <div class=\"cta-body col-md-8\" style=\"text-align:left;\">  \r\n                            <a class=\"cta-heading\" href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/Atticus\" alt=\"Click here to see it in action\">\r\n                            <h3>Formatting Has Never Been Easier<\/h3>\r\n                            <\/a>\r\n                        \r\n            <p>Write and format professional books with ease. \u00a0Never before has creating formatted books been easier.<\/p>\n            <a class=\"offer-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/Atticus\" alt=\"Click here to see it in action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Click here to see it in action<\/a>        <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-funny-writing-prompts\">Funny Writing Prompts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pick a funny writing prompt from the list below to get the creative juices flowing.
