Cartoonist, Author, and Hugo-Award-winning podcaster Howard Tayler opens the hood on the engines of funny.
Perhaps your friends think you're funny in person, but it's not coming through in your writing. Or maybe your friends don't think you're funny, and you feel like writing humor is hopeless. Regardless, this thing you're writing needs to be funny, and right now it's not. Howard will talk about how to figure out what's wrong, and how to go about fixing it. He'll briefly cover some of the latest science, and then drill down on how it translates into technique. Will this session be funny? Maybe! Okay, possibly. But you'll definitely be funnier for having attended it.
