Dear Readers, in a couple of months I will be sneaking off for a very special holiday to somewhere that I’ve always dreamed of visiting. I’ll be gone for a couple of weeks, and it’s very doubtful that I’ll have either the time or energy (or indeed wi-fi) to post every day to the blog while I’m gone.
So, I had an idea.
I know that many of you have blogs of one kind or another, so I’m inviting anyone who would like to to submit something to be posted as a guest blog on Bug Woman. You won’t need to write anything new (unless you’d like to), but it would be a way of engaging with a different audience from your usual one, and it might be fun! I would do all the practical stuff around transferring your work and of course you’d receive full credit.
I would only ask that your piece has some connection, however vague, with the natural world.
If you don’t have a blog but would like to submit some writing/photos, that would be good too!
Leave me a note in the comments, and I’ll get in touch with you to discuss.
Wow that looks like a great trip in prospect! I had a look through my blog posts and haven’t written any new ones for a while and not sure they are appropriate but feel free to have a look through and let me know if you want to use any during your absence.
I’d be interested in this, and can give you some details about what I could do.
I’m suffering from holiday envy, even though I don’t know where you’re going yet. I’m sure it will be somewhere amazing!
Thanks for the invitation (and it is a great idea) but I couldn’t live up to the very high standards I’m afraid. But then, do you have to post something every day? I know you’ve been doing that for some time, but I didn’t think you started out that way did you? I confess I skip over some of the emails I receive sometimes (due to a lack of time rather than interest I hasten to add) and then binge read to catch up (as you may have noticed from some of my comments!)
I don’t have to post every day (or indeed at all) – I started during lockdown to try to keep myself sane, and now I’ve retired it reminds me to get outside and pay attention every day. But this invitation is just for a one-off post, not for a whole fortnight’s worth :-). I would never inflict that responsibility on anybody 🙂
