H is for Humor. Humor is a
very important element in life. Today’s world can be so dark and full of
terrors. Movies, television, and books are often drama filled, edgy reflections
of the fear, unrest, and angst of our times. It makes me want to scream. “Lighten
up already!”
When
writing fiction, even dark, serious fiction, never miss an opportunity to have
some fun. All great stories have at least some comic relief. We’ve all heard
that it takes more facial muscles to frown than to smile. Save the workout for
the gym. I enjoy being lazy sometimes. (As evidence, see yesterday’s blog entry
on grammar.) Our language is full of reminders that we need more smiles and
laughter in our lives.
I’d much rather “grin and bear it” than just bear it
with no grinning whatsoever. “Turn that
frown upside down” and “let a smile be your umbrella”. You’ll
still get wet, but you can be happy about it. Remember; “laugh and the world laughs WITH you”. Cry and the world laughs AT
you because your face gets all puffy and you look like crap. H is for Humor.
