Discussion: Humour. Do like writing humour? Is it something you find difficult?

I love humour and most things thatal are comedic in tone but I can't write the funny to save my life. I have tried to write it a few times with varying levels of success but it's not one of my strengths.

I have planned what writing I need to do this month, but haven't really gotten anything else going as yet, so I'm calling it a restful break. I did manage to get my Yulefic done and submitted on time, and while I didn't feel that is was that exceptional, it was welcomed by the recipient and a lot of others have said good things about it, so I am encouraged!

I can usually include some humorous elements in my stories, but I have not often set out to write something meant to be funny from the beginning. I can really only manage it properly when I put characters who are usually very serious into humorous situations, but even then, my success varies.

Completed the 'fic that was the source of my December challenge the other day, then moved on to working on Trope Bingo. I might get a little more writing done tonight before I turn in. So far, so good.

I used to disdain humour, but, as I've gotten older (and maybe a little wiser), I've learned that a little levity can really help a story, though I don't think I've done too many things that are complete comedy.
