As Elaine said, there are all kinds of humor, and it leaves most of us feeling better after we've read it. If you have the ability to write it (which is very difficult), don't let anyone talk you out of it!Ellis Vidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918353154644739285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-43945299605229278362011-09-28T17:09:46.424-04:002011-09-28T17:09:46.424-04:00Welcome aboard, Cathy!

Comedies are rarely nominated for Oscars but comedic actor usually take on dramatic roles without a hitch. Dramatic actors often have a hard time with comedic roles. Pace and timing is key to comedy.<br />In serious work, a touch of comedy allows a change of pace.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-39035038274547117112011-09-28T09:07:59.974-04:002011-09-28T09:07:59.974-04:00Hi Cathy.

Sure I relish the shudder at thinking about evil hanging around outside my window but I'm grateful to all the authors who make me laugh. We all need to laugh more.Pauline Alldredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847008019331163905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-11188051210449917222011-09-28T08:41:26.648-04:002011-09-28T08:41:26.648-04:00I love humorous mysteries.

Kaye George's Choke is chocked full of humor as is Ann Charles's series and Nina Wright's dog series. That element alone will cause me to buy a book, because in all honesty,I buy for entertainment. I'd rather the mystery not be lame, but if it makes me laugh its mission will be accomplished!E. B. Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746747050278597888noreply@blogger.com
