(Hi, folks! For the time being, some, most, or all of the fol­low­ing links will still revert back to the orig­i­nal Writ­ing About Writ­ing web­page over on Blog­ger. This is not a mis­take. It just takes a long time to move thou­sands of arti­cles. Thank you for your patience as we nav­i­gate this tran­si­tion.)

And Occasionally Some Writing

Some­times, when I’m not writ­ing about writ­ing, I actu­al­ly do some writ­ing.  And I’m going to post some of it here.  How much depends on its suc­cess.

All mate­r­i­al labeled “By Chris Brecheen” at Writ­ing About Writ­ing is the exclu­sive prop­er­ty of Chris Brecheen. It is intend­ed sole­ly for the non-com­mer­cial use of vis­i­tors to Writ­ing About Writ­ing and may not be repro­duced or retrans­mit­ted in any form or by any means with­out the express writ­ten per­mis­sion of Chris Brecheen–with the fol­low­ing sin­gle excep­tion: Users are per­mit­ted to print out a singe copy of the mate­r­i­al for their pri­vate use. They may, how­ev­er, under no cir­cum­stances what­so­ev­er repro­duce or retrans­mit any such copies in any form or by any means with­out the express writ­ten per­mis­sion of Chris Brecheen.

Users are wel­come (and high­ly encour­aged) to link to any and all pages at Writ­ing About Writ­ing, and to pro­vide the URL for such links to oth­er per­sons by any and all means.  As long as such means aren’t deplorably vio­lent nor do they exploit fuzzy pup­pies or cheese mak­ers. Users may, how­ev­er, under no cir­cum­stances what­so­ev­er link to any pages at Writ­ing About Writ­ing with­in so-called “frames” or employ­ing any oth­er for­mat that may mis­lead users as to the ori­gin and loca­tion of Writ­ing About Writ­ing, or that could in any way sug­gest that the author of these works was any­one oth­er than Chris Brecheen.

Also, if you enjoy one or some of these sto­ries, please con­sid­er a dona­tion of a dol­lar or two to fund future offer­ings of fic­tion on Writ­ing About Writ­ing.  I’ll put all my fic­tion here if I can scratch out a bit of mon­ey doing so–even the longer stuff.

Falling From Orbit (Live Action Role Play­ing Game)

NOTE: One of the unusu­al strengths of this medi­um is that it can be changed, and I intend to exploit that.  Why write in a brave new world if the ben­e­fits of that world must be ignored?  While I won’t change themes or char­ac­ters or big stuff on a sto­ry once I hit “pub­lish,” what I can do is get in there and fix a gram­mar or spelling error or tight­en up some word­ing on a rough sen­tence.  So feed­back is encour­aged!  If you’re read­ing this, con­sid­er your­self a beta read­er!

Ques­tions? Com­ments? Want a future arti­cle to go into more detail? Mail me through our con­tact form. Just be sure to pick the right top­ic from the drop down menu, and check the archives—particularly the F.A.Q.—to see if your ques­tion has been asked before.

If you’re enjoy­ing this blog, and would like to see more arti­cles like this one, the writer is a guy with rent and insur­ance to pay who would love to spend more time writ­ing. Please con­sid­er con­tribut­ing to my Patre­on. As lit­tle as $3/month (less-than-a-lat­te a month) will get you in on backchan­nel con­ver­sa­tions, patron-only polls, and my spe­cial ear when I ask for advice about future projects or blog changes.

Or if a one-time dona­tion (or some type of non-mon­e­tary dona­tion) is more your speed, I have a Tip Jar with all the ways to help.
