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.)


That’s awesome Karen, congratulations! Will check out your guest blog on Wednesday, looking forward to it!
Cool bananas Olive! I love how one minute after I publish, you’re there with the praise -haha. Seriously, thank you for your incredible support. You’ve been here from the very start and for that I am truly grateful. See you Wednesday!
Wow, Karen – you’re a star!! I really enjoy reading your blogs, and the enthusiasm you share for others says a lot about you, not to mention give s me terrific new places to check out.
This is what I love about Twitter, the internet and people blogging.
Yes, this too is what I love about it. And I’m so glad you enjoy the blog, Kristi, as I enjoy yours. Your interviews always give me a good chuckle. Thanks for the kind feed and YOU, Kristi, are the real star!

Look at my chica. All dressed up with everywhere to go …
Karen – This is amazing! Please send me reminders of the dates. This is good enough to pull up to with some popcorn …
No chica, amazing is YOU – the one who has had my back since way back when. Of course I’ll send you reminders Carrie, anything you want. I’ll send you the popcorn too – salt? butter? sugar? Want a Coke with that? Diet or Regular?
Sugar,Butter,Salt/Everything to the Extreme. Life is too short for diet. That’s why YOU are my chica! xo
Life is too short for diet – absolutely! All right then, let’s throw some super tasty extra bite cheese on that popcorn. And a couple of beers – of course. Uh-oh, just wait till Jeanne gets here. She’ll wanna add tequila!
I say YES to all the above – Bring It On! We are sure fun, aren’t we?
Now lets add the candy – M&M’s? Fannie May Truffles? Frango Mints
Yay, it’s a party! And let’s not forget those damn chaps – with spurs and all… But where are Jeanne & Penny? *looks around*
Way to go Karen! That’s awesome. Keep it up. You’re an excellent writer and blogger. I can’t wait to read your guest posts.
I’m totally loving the cow picture by the way.
Thanks Sharla, i found it on my computer, grazing in the hard drive – ha. Appreciate the kind words. All this wonderful praise (says she as head expands)… Where are the plugs? Don’t you have something to plug, Sharla? xo
Man, you’re like blogger herpes and spreading the love faster than the doctors can keep up! Can’t wait to read the post on MH and PIMP IT, PIMP IT GOOD! Btw, if there’s enough salt for the popcorn, pass some for my margarita, baby!
HAHA, that’s me – blogger herpes! Watch out, you’ll never get rid of me. Unless you’re dead, heh. Pass over your margarita and I’ll chuck some salt on it. Promise I’ll give it back. You of all people, Jeanne, didn’t you have something to plug? No one’s plugging nothin’ – sheesh. In any case, curtsies to you Pimp Mistress of the Universe.
