There were so many times that I laughed when reading Perfect Chemistry. When writing, how do you plan out funny without it being over the top "Arrows pointing here! This is where you should laugh!" ?

I seriously laugh a lot in my own personal life and try to find something funny in every situation. It's a blessing as well as a curse. I don't know if I do it consciously - I mean, when I was eating a taco and the grease fell on my pants I knew I had to do that to a character (sorry Alex). If you hang with me for a while you'll find yourself laughing, too. It's just part of my nature, and the most ridiculous things have happened in my real life so it might just come out naturally in my writing. Basically, I have no clue how I do it lol.
