It's All About You


                                                       here



I've developed several goals this year as far as my blog is concerned. Amongst them are (in no particular order):

- strengthen relationships with those I have come to know
-continue and increase contact outside of these pages with those I have grown close to
-develop new relationships
- increase my readership
-experiment with new projects, things that haven't been done before or very rarely on other blogs
-cross-promote other bloggers to bring attention to their sites
-work to provide support for others in any way I can

So in summary I'll be shaking things up a bit this year from time to time. 

At the moment I'm developing a short story which I plan to post in multiple installments in the near future.  It's the most ambitious piece of writing I've done to date, if not in content then through volume. I'm hoping to devote more time to it than usual, and as a result I can foresee that I may not be posting as frequently.

This is where you come in.  In an effort to fill in some of these gaps I'd like to periodically feature the work of others.  If you'd like to see your writing featured here, please e-mail me at:  barryoshea69@yahoo.ca .  Include a link to a post or other piece that you've written. Depending on feedback I may not be able to use everyone's right away, but I'll do my best to get to everybody.  All credit will be given to you as author and I'll link to your site. Your post will appear 100% as you've written it.

So if you're interested, drop me a line.  I'd love to see what you have for me.

In the meantime, I'll see what other trouble I can stir up.

  5. I like the idea, but I would offer a drawing instead of writing, does that break the rules? :)

  9. This will be exciting to see what comes of this. Good luck. I write, but for now, I keep them private as it is a way for me to heal. I hope you understand that.

    Thanks!
