WOW A NEW POST BY A GUEST AUTHOR PAIR, HAS CLIMBED TO THE TOP

An amazing thing has happened! For the past three weeks I have been asking readers to add their own article(s) to this blog. At the outset, Deysi added a test article that immediately became very popular. Since that time there has not been another offering. Until now. Two unknown readers by the name of Ange and Ron (sounds like a couple maybe) submitted a brilliant post. It is related to their adventures at Disneyland in 2018. I read it with a fair amount of trepidation, knowing full well that my rein as most popular, most influential, and best looking author might be at stake.

I had an itchy feeling between my blades, that my readers were becoming tired of my unending drivel. “No shit” you say, I heard that Deysi. Well I took a deep breath and started to read. Yup, all my worst fears were coming to roost. Somehow, with no formal training (I think), they had managed to capture the very essence of a trip to Disneyland. At the same time, from two different perspectives. One a lover dreamer, the other a realistic non-believer. Oh how I wished I had never asked for outside input. I could feel the grip on my blog, slipping thru my fingers. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

Well I grudgingly had to admit, that it was a great story, it had great humour, had punctuation, grammar, a beginning and an end. It had drama and adventure, was easy to read, and pretty much met all of the criteria I had set for myself, but had not yet achieved on my blog. Other than that “it had nothing”! So I curled into a little ball and cried myself to sleep. 157 posts, and I am gutted by one flung at me from outer space. My only solace was in convincing myself, that it must have been a fluke and could never be repeated. Now, I did not just throw out a challenge. I am merely saying that after my 110,000 plus words to date, that I find it hard to believe that they could hit their first offering right in the nutsack.

After all those long hours of Deysi pumping me up. By telling me “I was the best” and encouraging me to stay cloistered in my room and continue to “spin my golden thread”. I am now wondering if all of her encouragement was sincere. Or, did she have other reasons to keep me locked in that room. All of the times, that she dressed me up in my little gardener’s costume and told me to go outside and pull weeds while I prepared for my next article, now seem suspicious. What if all she really wanted was for me to pull weeds? NNNNAAAAAHHHHH, can’t be, right?

Well here I am sitting by my “traitor” of a machine watching the views of their post rocketing thru the roof, and listening to Deysi, sniggering in her room. Maybe I can be a guest author on their blog, once they take over. Of Course I probably don’t meet their standards, right? Geezus “can’t a man get a break around here”. I’ll probably just sign my blog over to them, get my rope and go out into the Amazon Forest, in the backyard, and see if I left a tree big enough to do the dirty job, on. Well my blog is probably on life support now. So if there are any more budding authors out there, why don’t you just send in your article and put the final nail in my coffin.

Come on I dare you! Just go to the Readers – Post an Article on the menu line at the top of the page, click on it and it opens a text editor. Copy and paste your article to it, click the submit button and I will do the rest. If it is too good, I might lose it to the trash widget (just kidding). If all that fails, e-mail me your article, send it by text or if you don’t need it published this year send it by Canada Post. “Goodbye cruel world”.
