About
Do you like to laugh? Do you like to make others laugh? Writers have been making readers laugh for centuries. Sometimes writers use their own lives as a vehicle for humor. Why not you? This class will explore how to take joy, blunders, daily mistakes, even pain and turn them into humorous essays and stories.
The goal is that by the end of the week, you’ll have read several humorous pieces, practiced using various methods to convey humor, and written at least one humorous essay as well as one humorous short story, incorporating new information and writing skills into your work.
By the end of the week, the hope is for everyone to have a few polished pieces of writing that showcase their abilities to create humor out of their unique experiences.
