Of Resolutions, Meetups and Guest Posts

2017.jpg

Compliments of the season….. Here’s to wishing you a great year ahead, every year we make promises and resolutions that this year, this year will be the year that I flourish I am serious this time, even more serious than the year before that, and the year before that….
What resolutions have you made and how far in achieving them have you gotten so far?

This year part of my blogging resolutions include to interact with more bloggers and hopefully drive a meet a blogger project so that some of you become not just a username, an avatar and a blog address but also a face, a voice and a real life body to complete the picture.

If you are interested in a meetup please contact me (this goes out especially to my fellow Zim Bloggers, don’t be strangers) … The internet is a lovely place we could even set up a Virtual Bloggers Blast Event, in the comfort of well, wherever you are hopefully comfortable, with your internet connection.

In the spirit of connecting more with bloggers I am now making it official: A call for Guest Posts from Guest Bloggers.

If you would like to be a Guest Blogger I can feature your Guest Post on my blog simply give me a shout and I’d be glad to accommodate you.

What would you write about you are wondering? Well, you can pretty much write whatever you want, a poem, a story, a previously published post of yours, anything really, as long as it doesn’t get me in trouble with any copyright infringement issues or arrested or killed by cute looking rabid bunnies or ninja clown assassins.
I will also include any referral links to your blog or website and or social media accounts.
Likewise I would love to do a guest post on yours if you would have me.

My fingers are crossed that you, yes you, reading this right, have something to say and that you would do me the honour of saying it on my blog. If I get enough responses I just might make Guest Blog Posts a regular appearance maybe once a month or even more.

All the best for 2017
~B

PS you don’t have to be a blogger or have a blog for your guest post to feature here, simply contact or email me and we will make a plan.

    “As long as it doesn’t get me in trouble with any copyright infringement issues or arrested or killed by cute looking rabid bunnies or ninja clown assassins.”

    The bunny part of that sentence severely limits the amount of things I could write on your blog, B! The blogger meetup sounds like a great idea, although I likely won’t be able to participate because I’ll be in the Amazon rainforest. But I still think you should pursue it!

        Hey B, New Year’s compliments to you as well! And thanks for the encouragement about my Amazon trip!

        I’d love to do a guest post on your blog! I probably won’t be done with the Amazon business for a while though, so I might not be able to write that post until close to Christmas. I’m planning to go down to Guyana this summer and fall for my Master’s research, so I’ll be in the field for a while. But sign me up for that guest post anyway, and I’ll get on it when I return!

    Funny how resolutions pop up this time of year. Guess it has to do with a new revolution around the sun. I like to think of resolutions as “re:solutions”, or “result in: Oo’s”. My favorite is the last one. It’s an accomplishment with a cheer. Or cheery o’s. That may be copyrighted by a cereal company. At least the vocalization of it. I don’t know how that all works. Anyway, happy new year to you. This comment is almost a blog post, but not quite. Cheers!

    Welcome back B
    Now may you please do me the absolute pure pleasure of being my guest blogger?
    We have a Uganda bloggers happy hour every month.
    I have only been to one but, usually the announcement for it runs on social media through out the month, with venue,date and time.
    And then someone posts what transpired for those who didn’t show.
    It’s a community of sorts with a facebook and twitter account.
    So maybe you could create a Zim Bloggers Community online and take it from there.
    And give me all the credit 😂
    Good luck
    How is the 2017 calendar change?

    hi Beaton- my blog has moved, so I followed you with the new page.
    I have always followed you- we just don’t tend to talk on Twitter and I was scaling back my contacts there to people that interact.
    We’ve always read each other’s blogs so we are cool there-

    Happy belated New Year. Or should it be belated Happy New Year? I’ve not done new year resolutions in years because as you so eloquently put it each year was the same. I’d have a good start and almost as soon as I began I’d begin to fizzle. But onto a more pressing matter “killed by cute looking rabid bunnies or ninja clown assassins” 🤣 seriously? Now ninja clown assassins I heard can be quite hard to tangle with but bunnies? Tsk, tsk, I have to be on the lookout for theses criiters😁

    Thank you, dear B, for your kind invitation to do a guest post for you! I have some poems I’ll send you. Just give me about a week to pull them together. I recently sent 3 short rhyming-ish poems that I wrote in my 20s to a dear friend. I wonder if you’d be interested in them. I have many many many others too. Will you message me your email address, & I’ll forward you a Word doc? Or do you have another way you’d like to receive them? I enjoy your Twitter posts very much along with your blog posts! I enjoy how you look at the world and moments within it.
