Lately I have been feeling decadent. I would like to find a hookah bar to hang out in and smoke that big pipey thing but am out of luck round these parts. What alarms me the most is I'm starting to think Nero was not such a bad bloke and there is much to be said for hanging out in a toga eating grapes and drinking wine, fiddling while Rome burns. I think there was some sort of unfortunate mother issue going on with Nero, but we can gloss over that.
I'm noticing this blog fatigue with other bloggers too having just read the most recent post by my good bloggy pal Mina Lobo.
At this juncture some people will bang on about taking a blogging break which is cue for followers to react on mass: "Don't go. Don't leave me now, now, now," or something to that effect.
I'm not disappearing into blogging obscurity. My idea is delegation. Yes I am going to designate July as guest blogging month which means I'll be posting other people's stuff all month. Not every day. Just when I can be bothered.
I don't want this to entirely sound as if I want to use you and your writing because I'm feeling lazy. There's some great stuff out there and I intend to get into the showcasing business. I will already be showcasing one of Patricia Lynn's fabby posts on July the - errm I can't remember. Anyhow.
So comment here if you want to be showcased. Oh you know you want to. And chuck me an email closer to the time with your post and a pic of yourself or your favorite budgerigar - I don't care.
I'm also invoking the NBITW clause which translates as No Blog is To Weird; unless it's like sinister weird.
Sooo let me know if you want to join the party..
I've never guest posted before. I can give it a try. :)
ReplyDeleteYay thanks Dee - sure it will be brilliant.
DeleteYou mean, you'll post something I've already written and - in theory - I'd be helping you out? Sure, David. I'd be happy to.
ReplyDeletexoRobyn
you can write something for the occasion or just use something you have already written Robyn, the later is easier I feel xo
DeleteI could give it a try too I guess....that is if I have anything noteworthy to say in July. lol
ReplyDeleteGreat thanks JoJo - sure you will
DeleteGuest posts! Love it! :)
ReplyDeletecool Mary - look forward to it...
DeleteHappy to help if you want me to? You can try and get me a job at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rowena - the guest post may be a bit easier than the job but good luck with the search :)
DeleteIt's July the.... crap, I can't remember either. I have it written down somewhere though! This reminds me, I need to figure out my topic for my day. ^^;;
ReplyDeletewell July's July eh - always happy to oblige..
Delete"Sinister Weird" is among my many middle names ("dark and broody" as well). (And probably "melodramatic moron," but I digress.)
ReplyDeleteI comment not to volunteer but to commiserate and thank you for the mention. Given my own bloggy hangover ennui (which, I think, would make for a great band name), I'm not too keen to write extra blogs, having announced my intention of scaling back to one post a week. However, if you don't mind posting a repeat post (assuming I can find one that bears re-posting), I might be able to swing that.
Some Dark Romantic
oh you are too harsh re the moron bit Mina - I am fine with being green and recycling thanks :)
DeleteI'd love to lend a hand but my writing won't pass muster.
ReplyDeleteIf y are still willing to take a chance...book me in the last week of July.
I am doing two weekly posts on my blog from this month...one invariably a book review.
Missed these interactions.
