Be My Guest Blogger


I have been kicking around this idea for some time now. I have used information people have sent me in the past to create a post or three, but never full on credit to the writer or back links to their own blog. I have been selfish in a way; I am not always the best when it comes to sharing. However, some people have made a promising argument in favor of having guest bloggers write on my blog, The Sting of the Scorpion. Now that I have given this some thought I have a few ideas on what I am looking for as far as articles, short stories, and posts. Subject matter is relatively subjective as far as I am concerned. Meaning, do a little research and see what kind of stuff I write about and try to keep that as the direction you head in. Also, you can look into The Archives and see past guest blogger's posts. At the The Sting of the Scorpion's blog there isn’t an actual direction or purpose that is used as guidance for myself. I like things that make a person think, scratch their head, and ask WTF. However, most of what I do write about is what I see as I live my life. So, keep that in mind, the freedom of subject matter is pretty open. But, I will not allow racist rants, selling a product or service, or political nonsense since this is not the platform you are looking for to run for office.

Just click HERE for the e-mail address or follow the e-mail link at the top right corner of either blog.
One final note I will add, only as a precaution, because in the end nothing will get published without my absolute dictator approval, that’s just the way it will be. So, when you decide you have your final product you can e-mail it to me then it will be formatted into my blog. I don’t edit, I don’t proof read for type “o”s, so the only thing I will be looking for is allowable content. When it comes to pictures let it be known that they are fine as well. If you snatch a picture off the web or from where ever, give the person or place credit. I personally have a disclaimer on my blogs. But, I like visual interpretation, pictures make a point many times. I am not particular on pictures either, as y’all can tell. But, I do ask that there be no full on nudity because they will not be allowed in the actual post.

Now, what do you as the writer get back in return? Nothing actually. There is no fame or fortune here. But, I will put your name up in lights here at The Sting of the Scorpion blog. I will put a back link for your blog so people can find you and I will give the link to the post to put on your blog is so desired. I will promote your post on Blogcatalog, Facebook, and Pintrest. I don’t personally deal with Twitter or any other social media outlets so that would be my actual pushing end.

So, are you interested? Good, comment here and send me an e-mail HERE and we can get started.

R.I.P. 13 March 2014

Rest in peace old friend. We are gathered here to mourn the untimely death of IYAAYAS Moderator. Unfortunately your entire existence was wiped off the map of cyberspace in a blink of an eye. Let it be known to everyone everywhere that you served me well for many, many years. There will never be a more loyal friend that anyone could ever ask for, you were always there for me and others. I never thought I would see the day when you would be killed off by a faceless system. I knew I would eventually have to bury you, but I never knew it would be under these circumstances. It has brought a tear, or two, to my eyes these last few days and not seeing you. You spent many years enduring daily life and and always found a way to do it another day. You are truly missed.
We must move on old friend, there is still much life to live, much life to see, and much to do. Please don't think you are merely being replaced as I like to think that The Sting of the Scorpion is your reincarnation. Your spirit can be seen reaching up from the rubble, pushing through the dust, and passing the torch on to the next generation. Even though your death was violent and sudden, coming without warning, I want you to go easy. Go easy my friend, walk to the light, embrace the light, become the light. Even though you are no longer with us, we will remember you for all of time because we know your spirit will always be present. We had a good run and hopefully you are in those greener pastures we here hear so much about, now you are free to run and run you should. Rest in peace IYAAYAS Moderator.

I'm Back...............

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger is a very old saying my dad would tell me when times were troubled. It is also fitting for me today, well, not me personally, but dead and gone are my prior blogs. If you are reading this post then you are aware of what I am referring to. I will fail to mention them just to avoid some cosmic cross check where my new blog might just get mis-identified. We can't have that now can we. Just know this is the real me and I will continue to blog in the fashion I am accustomed to. One thing I will mention is that I had a good run with my main blog, it served the purpose of me talking to myself for a good 6 years. That is what blogs are for, right, talking to ourselves in hopes that others will stumble across us somehow and read our ideas? Well, if not for you it definitely is that way for me. I am sorry that I lost just over 600 followers/members with the death of that blog. I do hope everyone returns once they find me at my new home. The name may change, but you will always get the real me, no punches pulled here as well as in life. For all my old friends, welcome back! For all my new friends, welcome aboard, be sure to hold on tight because it can get a bit bumpy at times.
Where do we go from here? Forward, of course. The will be no looking backwards from this post on and I am looking forward to the forward momentum. With help from friends I was able to locate the archived versions of my now dead blogs which I will be extracting a handful of posts to breathe new life into them. Nothing is really going to change except I plan on going at it all much harder. There will, however, be a small delay in the complete an actual birth of this blog since I do have an impending surgical procedure to deal with on my left shoulder in the very near future. I don't know how much I will feel like blogging or carrying on afterwards either until a good deal of recovery happens.
Y'all have been good friends thru the good, the bad, and the ugly and I would never be able to ask for anything more. Thanks for stopping by and I hope there will always be something new each time each of y'all return.
