National Humor Month
No joke!
April is National Humor Month.
It's a great month for the inspiring and fun Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop, the premier workshop for humor writers. It is held at Erma's alma mater, The University of Dayton. I was honored to be a judge in their writing competition this year. How cool is that?
There's a lot of funny out there!
Also, April is a perfect time for AATH - the Association of Applied Therapeutic Humor - to hold their annual conference. Info hereAATH's mission is to serve the community of professionals who study, practice, & promote healthy humor & laughter. Lots of laughter, learning, and love with this group.
