How does one effectively use sarcasm in their writing!? Do you use it in your writing!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well, it has to be obvious!. And ironic!. If you read some Jane Austen, that could help you!. Edit: I was thinking more about it, and if you've read Harry Potter, you see a lot of sarcasm used as comic relief!. If you write a serious novel, sarcasm is a good tool because you most likely won't have chirpy funny people in a serious novel, though it does depend!. Anyways!. Yeah!. I hope that helped (more)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You need to use the cliches! For example!.!.!."Oh my gosh, Edward is, like, the perfect boyfriend!.
