Comedy Breeds Drama; Drama Breeds Comedy

i find that it is always really easy to kill the mood. Whenever something serious is going on, it is too easy to make jokes. When people are making jokes, I want to dissect and discuss them and what they would entail.

I've always found that comedy breeds drama and drama breeds comedy. This can very easily become a struggle in writing. If you are a natural comedian, but doing a serious piece, you may find yourself wanting to crack a lot of jokes. Feel free to crack them in your head, but it's probably not a good idea to write them in your story.

Similarly, though it may be interesting to discuss the possibilities in making a pig fly, somebody who uses the phrase light-heartedly has already set the mood as light-hearted, so even if you are intrigued by the idea, keep it to yourself unless the mood changes.

Some willpower is all you need. Writing is usually better by saying the things that naturally come forth as you think, but there are certain limitations. Cracking a joke in the heroic sacrifice scene is one such limitation.
