With humor, it's so subjective that trying to think of what the ideal reader would think would drive you crazy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I regard the writing of humor as a supreme artistic challenge.
If you stop and think about it, nearly all great humor is at the expense of someone or something.
Too many writers get stuck in the trap of writing what they think is funny and not considering who they are writing it for.
Humor writing requires a rhythm and timing, as well as some kind of connection to the reader, and I think that's how I tap into it.
I think what is important for things to be funny is if you the listener, or the reader, get a chance to supply the humor of it yourself.
Humor writing is something that comes naturally to me.
When you take a character seriously, there's more room for comedy because you're not aware of how absurd you are.
Without humor, I cannot go on and I doubt many of my readers would go on either. Humor is so important. I am here to have fun here with my work.
I think humor is a very serious thing. I use it as a way of weakening the reader's defenses so that I can more easily take him to something more.
I didn't think that anything is beyond humor - not profane humor, but a good, honest approach to humor.
