Been thinking about humor. I’m sure we’ve all encountered
humorous situations, embarrassment, and jokes. Some so funny you have to tell
it, some so embarrassing you want to forget about it. Practical jokes – well,
my husband loves to pull them on me. I have a great sense of humor, and will
find things comical even in the most serious, subdued environment.
I have tried to input humor in some of my books, funny
incidents that have happened to me. Let’s see if I can recall a few of them.
Jade’s Redemption: In this book, the incident at the creek
really happened to me. Blue As Sapphires: The battle between Marissa and the squirrel was actually a battle between me and a squirrel.
I have one book that I haven’t edited yet to get it to my
publisher called Moonlight Path. This particular book shares my escapades with
golfing.
In my new release, Rekindled Christmas Mystery, there is a
scene where the two sisters reminisce about Christmases past. The memories are
from my childhood. NOTE: This book was scheduled
to be released in March. However, my publisher is fighting her battle with
cancer, and understandably, fallen behind in getting books release. As soon as
I know the release date, I will let you know.
During this pandemic, I have also gone through my own
personal trial and I couldn’t have survived this if it wasn’t for my practical jokester
and dry humor husband, and my ability to find humor in things.
So, if you’re having a particular difficult time because of
this pandemic, grab some books and escape for a while. Look for humor and have
a good belly laugh. Be thankful you’re alive and later on, you’ll be able to
share with others the fact you survived the 2020 Covid19 pandemic.
You know what would be fun too, is if you won one of these
prizes from the Romance Gems May in Bloom rafflecopter. So, get your name in
the drawing and look for your name to be drawn as a winner!
Laughing makes nearly everything better, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI sometimes sprinkle in things that have happened to me also in my books!
ReplyDeleteThere’s a piece of me in every single book I write. And I love sprinkling in some humour, too! You have lovely Constance and I hope your publisher’s health improves. Best of luck with Rekindled Christmas Mystery.
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law says I have inappropriate, gallows humor! But you might as well laugh. As to the embarrassing things - do you sometimes remember them and still cringe? I do!
ReplyDeleteLaughter really is the best medicine! I hope you are doing well, Constance. Looking forward to REKINDLED CHRISTMAS MYSTERY. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteConnie, love humor. Comedies are great to watch and lift our moods, the best medicine for sure. Good luck with the book and to your editor. Health is vital to our lives.
ReplyDeleteI love humor in books. It is darn difficult to write. Glad you're doing better, Connie.
ReplyDeleteSo the creek scene in Jade's Redemption was real? OMG! *G* Warmest wishes sent your way, Connie.
