I just read this quote in someone else's NaNoWriMo sig line...
"You can't build a plot out of jokes. You need tragic relief." —Terry Pratchett
That is great for me to remember for my beet novel, which quite honestly started as a joke and has worked its way into a novel-in-progress that I hope has some real emotions. Meanwhile, my NaNoWriMo novel (13,881 words so far!) probably needs the opposite, and more traditional advice--some sort of humor or joy to break up the angst.
