I say this, because my published novel is just that: a comedy (although, I suppose I should really say, 'comedic', because you can't have a comedy novel, can you?).
I have also almost finished one of those small pocket book things, you see going for a couple of pounds/dollars/euros near cash registers the World-over.
And now, after personally speaking with an established author who has carved his name out as the definitive authority of the history of Manchester City football club, I have begun to write an alternative history, but tongue firmly planted in cheek. This was after he had read some of what I had previously done on this subject, and told me to go for it, as it was factually true (well, most of it LOL), but very funny at the same time.
I say all this, because I have always had this idea for a novel in the back of my head, which is dark, creepy and foreboding, but I really do not think I could pull it off, because I'd want to inject humour into it, and that would just ruin it completely.
Am I alone in this, or are there others here who feel the same way?
