Have you ever wondered how people that write comedy, or humor blogs or funny books come up with their material?

Lots of writers will try to tell you that their work is the product of divine inspiration or some complicated, arcane ritual, but the truth is that consistently writing anything is the result of having a solid, repeatable process. That's doubly true for humor writing, because most of the pros need to be funny on a schedule. They have to produce good stuff day after day, or week after week. You can't hope for a muse and make the rent, right?

This process shouldn't be a secret, and it's not complicated.

Humour Writing: The Art of Being Funny is a complete, six-week course that will teach you how to add zing to your writing. Get dozens of useful humor writing tips, techniques and methods; it is great for beginners and pros alike. You'll find it helpful whether you want to write a syndicated column, funny one-liners for t-shirts or greeting cards, or to just add levity to your fiction and nonfiction. Heck, even if you're not interested in writing humour, you can use the book to learn how to generate ideas.
