Description

In hard times, it seems impossible to remember that humor--what the great Ann Lamott calls "carbonated holiness"--matters so much. In this workshop, we'll talk about the power of humor, and do some hands-on practice to help writers infuse their work and their lives with that great human gift. "When humor goes, there goes civilization." That's Erma Bombeck, who knew many things about many things. Let's come together and save civilization, one bubble of carbonated holiness at a time.
