Description: Your friends think you’re funny, your family thinks you’re funny, and your sensibility is more Sedaris than Sartre. So why does your writing often wind up so dry? In this session, we’ll start chipping away at the Fear of Funny, and explore the ways that writers can--and should--use their sense of humor in their work. Hecklers will be swiftly removed.
