"I better buck up a little bit. ... I better grow a pair of kahunas. I'm pretty sure that's not the word, but I'm gonna go with it." -- David Mailer

Here's some #writingadvice: Go for the joke. Seriously. No mater the level of drama or danger, all stories and their readers deserve #comedic relief. Go for it!

I don't mean Dad jokes, or stand-up, unless you're writing The Marvelous Mrs. Mazel. It can be subtle or outrageous. It ought be on point and move the story forward, not gratuitous. Character's thoughts, spoken #malapropisms, ribbing—they all work. A #smartass character (esp. if the reader is privy to their thoughts) is always an option. There are plenty of ways appropriate for your #storytelling to ratchet up the #comedy.

I #challenge you to write a scene going for the joke, and post it with #goforthejoke. Here is mine:

My bodyguard spun a dining chair around to sit beside me. "If you were my daughter, I would tell you it's time to pack up your toys and go home."

"How old is your daughter?"

"Seven. That's not the point! Everyone in the syndicate knows that Felipe's lieutenant is trouble."

"Are you worried he might try to seduce me? Be worried for him!"
