Hi, Allie,

See? I have a tough day at the keyboard, and then along comes your letter to make it all worthwhile again!

Thanks so much for your long-lasting support for my work and, especially, for Jardine. The picture of you reading from a safe distance to your sister is one I won’t forget in a hurry. And all that laughter is just what I need to hear! I hope she’s well on the road to recovery by this time. Let me know if laughter really is the best medicine.

Re: humor. I sort of believe that people are either funny or they’re not. I think it’s the ability to find the funny stuff that really provides the insight. If you don’t see it, then you can’t bring it out in your story. And yes, I admit to having been at one time a fan of Jeeves. Who could resist?

Thanks again, Allie. Good luck with your own writing.                      —–Gordon Korman—–
