A Little Humor Goes A Long Ways
I think a little of sense of humor sprinkled in a book is good for literature unless you write text books. I can’t say it’s great for every book even if is fictional. It depends on the genre and the theme.
Even if you write nonfictional books. It wouldn’t hurt to hold your readers’ attention with a joke or two. No, don’t write joke if your book is on a serious issue like domestic violence, genocide, depression.
My way of making people feel better is making them laugh. Laughter can make one forget their problems for a while and it has been medically proven to lower the blood pressure.
When I speak on my books I always add a little humor. It’s a way to help me relax and help the audience get to know me. Loosen things up. I might tell a joke from one of the books. Those who have read it catch the joke and those who haven’t become interested in what the others are laughing about.
One thing anyone who come and listen to me or visit my blog knows. I’m a straight forward person. I don’t pretend. I’ve always been a straight forward person and most people who are real don’t mind my honesty. They say they appreciate it.
Too many have forgotten how to laugh. I know lots of times there’s nothing in life to laugh about. But I want to ask this question…has constantly crying improved anything?

She took classes in creative writing in college, specializing in ancient myths and legends. and later at a local community center while living in Chicago.

Her works are mainly horror, fantasy, extreme, and sci-fi as well as, as some may says, "the truly strange predicament and puzzling." Books that I've written are "Clash with the Immortals, and eleven others which are part of the "Unholy Pursuit saga,". She has been working on the Chronicles since 2007. She wished to complete them all before introducing them to public so the readers wouldn't have to for the continuation to be written.
The ideas of the book come from classic literature such as whose work greatly influence the world world such as Homer, Sophocles, Herodotus, Euripides, Socrates, Hippocrates, Aristophanes, Plato, Aristotle and many more. The "Book of Enoch" influenced the usage of Azazael as a main character and love interest. I created the primary main character from the Chronicle of Saints. I wanted to show them as real flesh and blood with thoughts, desires and yearning as any human. Not as they are so often depicted. So I created one of my own to show her as a real human that everyone can relate to.

No constantly crying has never improved anything. I am with you, laughter and humour does make it that much easier to trudge along on a difficult day.

There’s a saying that you can only cry but for so long before making yourself ill.

Ahhh, you’re too kind. 🙂 A, you know that saying goes: “You can cry, but for soon long before you go crazy and laughing like a loon.” Which is true.
You’re right…your way of twisting it is nicer.
