(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.)

Silly Fun

I’m will­ing to stretch the con­nec­tive tis­sue of what con­sti­tutes writ­ing “about writ­ing” pret­ty damn far when there’s a cheap laugh to be had.

Cause I love cheap laughs.  

So sit back, relax, enjoy the gig­gles in the links below, and try not think TOO much about how lit­tle this actu­al­ly has to do with writ­ing.  I’ll try to dance on the con­nec­tive tis­sue while doing jazz hands in a sparkling leo­tard so that we can all pre­tend the pre­tense is total­ly there.

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.
