​Do you want to:
-
Find the humor in your not-so-funny memoir?
-
Make your rom-com even funnier?
-
Take your novel from amusing to laugh out loud funny?
-
Transform your totally dark comedy to being even more comedic?
​
Then Humor Writing II is for you!
​
I always say, "I can't teach you humor writing without teaching you writing."
So, all aspects of good writing will be covered,
but with an emphasis on where and when to find the humor and how to
turn up the volume and expand on the already funny moments.
​
You'll get:​
-
Accountability: show up and write and you'll get better!
-
The chance to share EVERY WEEK! (Optional)
-
Loving and supportive feedback from me and your peers.​​
-
Community with a group of like-minded writers.
-
Limited class size.
-
Weekly lectures to "up the humor" and improve your writing.
(Topics are often inspired by an issue that comes up in class.)
Topics include:
-
The Elements of Humor
-
Expanding a Joke
-
Digging into a Premise
-
The Structure of a Joke
-
Dialogue
-
Rewrites
-
And more!​​​
"Like the best coaches, Nelsie is encouraging and supportive, but also tells you what you need to hear in order to become a better writer. For those that aren't great with deadlines (who is?), Nelsie keeps you on track and helps you move forward while being patient and giving you the space you need. Nelsie is a connoisseur of humor and will help you find opportunities for humor in places you never imaged."
