It depends on the story, but every story has humor. Prophecies is a satire and jokes are consistent. StS is heavy and violent, but Seff's dry humor pops up occasionally as a coping mechanism, for herself and for the reader.

Drohim's husband goes missing less than a week before his divorce is finalized. That means he's technically still obligated to find and rescue him - and that means Seff's humble life of going through the motions as a squire is about to go to hell.

#PretendPanel I have a few funny moments in my first book, but nothing laugh out loud. A few nasal exhales are all you'll get. I think the story doesn't allow much room for humor. Especially my second book.

For some writers when we write it feels like a welcome vacation away from the crapfest of real life. That relief becomes visible to the crapfest participants when they observe us writing and they resent our escapes. They may push back and be angry.

'There are times when your body just follows you around, like a dog or a younger brother.'
The Land in Winter, Andrew Miller

It’s not an easy place to be — to write a horror film. You go down the stairs to the dark to find these characters. It’s not a place anyone can go, and sometimes it’s not a place that you want to go.

I try to sprinkle humor into my work, but for the most part it stays in the worldbuilding/side story realm. I’ve got a lot of short story ideas to go alongside The Night of Fallen Gods I’ll probably put in a collection at some point.
