So far the “funny” things he says and does are mostly non-sequiturs or him doing random things. He’s just not clever because there’s never anything to be clever about.
How do I fix this?
Write something clever 🤷🏻♂️
Do you have examples of your work? It's hard to give advice if you are just going to be vague.
You mean like linking a chapter or something?
For those also questioning their sanity, yes, we've been here before.
Sorry I thought this question was different enough from the other one. But now that I think about it it’s literally the same question but more narrow.
Ironically this came more naturally when I was a worse writer, and the story just naturally lead itself into at least one exchange that’s an extended sex joke. I don’t remember most of them but they were everywhere.
Puns are easy to create without having a formal setup or straight man.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a non-annoying funny pun in something that’s not a rap song. Have you seen one?
What kind of jokes? Like dry humor, self deprecating or just funny ones?
Edit: Not promoting just in case! My story has jokes between the characters you can check out my story Sidelines if that what you are referring to.
Do you want me to link a chapter? I don’t really want to link one because i’d rather not publicize unfinished writing anymore.
