But wit is sort of a gift isn’t it? Hard to force, either in fiction or in real life. Yet another great post.

I’ve been out of town for the weekend and this was so great to come home too. I love witty characters, but find it hard to pull off without verging into overly sarcastic wit. Hope this helps!

Your post was a nice development of the pros and cons of being witty. Your blog is really a nice treasure chest of character traits to consider.

I can’t even think of an example from a book. Great entry! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

He was excellent at the witty remarks (on both sides of the coin).

@Medeia Sharif: I agree on the picture. Yet to see that movie though.

A witty character provides much needed entertainment value to a story.

It’s kind of hard to think of how to put a new spin on ‘witty’, but there’s always a way, if we think hard enough.
