This month I get to write for two blogs – both distinct and wonderful in their own right.
First is Tyler Weaver’s “perpetually hyphenated, highly opinionated, endlessly creative” blogozine – Multi-Hyphenate. Which is basically where creative people from all walks of life with split personalities go to read about other creative people from all walks of life with split personalities.
The new Multi-Hyphenate (MH) is about to head into its third week and so far the response has been promising and well-deserved. It’s so courageous yet alarmingly insane of Tyler to have turned his personal blog into a blogozine daily featuring guest writers from all artistic disciplines.
I am extremely excited – and a touch nervous – about guest-blogging for the very first time and making my debut on MH this Wednesday, Feb 10, with a post entitled Writing & Me: A Stalker Story – about how despite several escape attempts and numerous restraining orders, Writing refuses to leave me alone.
I’m even more excited – and deeply honored – to be debuting in the same week as the positive and wonderfully encouraging TV & film-producing husband and wife team, Joke and Biagio, who will special guest-blog Monday, Feb 8. As in today.
I only discovered Joke and Biagio’s fantastic blog weeks ago. Can’t believe it’s been sitting there all this time, bustling with tales from the trenches and their various productions – Beauty and the Geek, Dying To Do Letterman, Scream Queens – and I knew nothing about it. I look forward with keen anticipation to their contribution on MH and what they have to say about the biz.
The second blog I will be contributing to this month is a different beast entirely. (And I mean “beast” in the most complimentary of ways.)
Leslee Horner’s daily blog - Waiting For The Click.
Leslee is a “wife, mother, writer, and seeker” who has decided to share her thoughts and experiences in the hope of reaching out and assuring her readers, they are not alone. She is a blogger who come rain or shine, will post a poem or her reflections of each day gone by, and whom I have long admired for her eloquence and dedication.
Following the sad passing of her best friend last year, Leslee asked friends and readers for contributory stories about A-ha moments in their lives. And so it is with great pleasure that I share such a story on Leslee’s blog come 18th Feb. So stay tuned. And CLICK.
Thank you Tyler and Leslee for affording me the honor and opportunity to crash in your respective spaces. I hope you will not regret it and would love to crash again – hint, hint.
To the person who showed me how to set up those dominoes and advised me to start blogging and get networking online 8 months ago at the Santa Fe Screenwriting Conference.
Marvin V. Acuna of The Business Of Show Institute (BOSI), who has shared with me and so many other writers the wisdom of building an inventory of work, having several things on the boil at the same time, thinking of ourselves as CEOs of our own company, and always, always Networking – Palm Up.
Thank you Marvin. If not for you, none of this would be happening.
On that note, if anyone is guesting or inviting people to guest on their blog, or has anything else coming up, feel free to leave a comment and Plug It. And as my dear friend Jeanne likes to say, Plug It Good.
If, on the other hand, you just want to leave praise and obscene flattery, well, that’s okay too. I am after all a writer and writers as we well know have egos the size of China that need constant feeding.
So Plug and/or Feed. Click. And Click Again.
Thank You.
(Oh, and if you leave comments on the other blogs, I’ll be sure to respond – just like here.)
