    Does anyone write clean comedy into their works anymore?  I need recommendations and some help.

    Whew! The last two years have been… (behemoth understatement) rough!

    I want to hear from you guys.  I need to find some comedic inspiration.  To know how you weave humor into your stories.  Mine needs some.

    I have a tendency to write tense scenes and I need to be able to break that cadence up with some genuine humor.  I don’t mean snarkiness or snide belittling remarks, but something that is laugh-out-loud funny.

    There is so much bad news in life, I think it is important that we include a little levity in our works to break up the tension.  Philippians 4:8 tells us to pursue a mindset that seeks the positive things out, which does not imply ignoring the evil done under the sun, but balancing our thinking with things of good report.

    Humor is a release of tension, and I feel we need some of that.

    Would any of you be willing to share a book title of something funny you have read, or a passage in something you wrote that you found comical?  No judgment here.
