Julie Broad explains how to use irony for humor in writing. She suggests noticing ironic moments in your life and recording them, then using them to create engaging contrasts. Her example: when someone calls you a good listener, reply "I'm sorry, what did you say? Really?"
Number three irony. If you can spot irony in your life and business, write it down and use it. Irony makes for humor. It just makes for great reading. When someone compliments you for being a good listener, you could say, I'm sorry, what did you say? Really? Using irony, you can create a humorous contrast between what is expected and what is said, which can be very effective in making people laugh. I talked a lot more about this technique in a video on using figures of speech in your writing. But irony is everywhere, so watch for it and note it because it can make for a great humor humorous add to your book.
