: Re: How to make writing humorous? I think my writing tends to be too serious/intense or whatever, so I'm wondering how writers create humorous writing. I'm interested in writing some humorous short

There is no single right answer for this.
Humorous writing can be accomplished in a variety of ways. For the sake of simplicity, I'm just going to list them for now, but if you want, leave a comment and I'll elaborate on them.

Embellishment (which is what you said you're doing)
Slapstick (hard to pull off in visual mediums; even harder in solely written mediums)
Hyperbole
Satire
Parody
Irony
Blatant Jokes
Witticism
Situational (scenarios that only work under constrained conditions)
Absurdity
