Welcome to another week of Romance Weekly! This week our questions are from  Fiona Riplee

1.Does humor help or hinder you in your creative process?


Picture
I would say both. I always incorporate some humor into my work, mostly because I can't help it, which is my hindrance.  I have to make sure I tone back my natural impulse to be a smart ass or incorporate inappropriate content when I'm writing something serious. It's that balance to keep the story in tune, but as I said, I find humor in things most people think are horrendous. *shrugs* I'm twelve.

2.What is a favorite go-to book or movie you use to unblock a problem in your writing?

Picture
I don't have any one particular book, but if I'm really in a jam, I'll grab something light and smutty to clear my brain, something that doesn't require a lot of thought or effort. Same for movies. Joe Dirt is my happy place movie. It will cure any shitty day, blast any stress out of my system, and I'm usually good to go after watching it. You need positive reinforcement, who better that Joe Dirt to show you the way. You just gotta keep on keepin' on.

3.What’s the most inspiring book you’ve read this week or month that’s generated a new idea?

Picture
I am currently reading Rain Shadow book 2 by Tess Oliver. I finished the first about two weeks ago and fell in love with the characters. This book is gripping, and it's a series, so that's a plus! Lots more to come!

Although it hasn't generated any ideas, it has inspired me. She is a really gifted writer, and I am inspired by her style. It's encouraged me to dig a little deeper with my own writing to create vivid worlds the way she's done.

Thanks for joining us this week! Please follow the hop. Fiona Riplee is up next ! Her blog is here: http://fionariplee.com/

A good read can often be more inspiring than the most detailed of technique books. After all, that's why we got into this business, right? Because we love stories.

Twelve is a great age for humor. Laughs come from the sheer stupidity of situations and from some things that are just plain silly. When we start censoring our humor to make it agreeable to everyone, it loses its punch.

Your sense of humour comes across in your post, and your comments. Love it! Also, the font on your site is so whimsical. Very cute!
