#BeMyGuest

Hope you have all had a great start to 2024, and are enjoying the year so far. I’m sorry to have been absent so long, but we had a house full of company over the holidays, and immediately upon the departure of our last guests, I came down with a lung infection. Urk. It was NOT on my planned agenda, believe me. But the good news is, the two antibiotics I was on finally kicked it out the door, and I’m feeling much better. Still moving a bit slow, but I’m sure that will soon be a thing of the past, too. (Okay, I’ll be 80 in about 6 weeks or so, so “Slow” might be here to stay, but … slow is better than not moving at all , so I’ll take it! 😁)

It might take me a while to catch up a bit, but I’m SOON going to put out a call for guest posters and we will get things back on track. I’m looking forward to a year of wonderful guests, lots of book promotions, and loads of fun all around. Let’s make 2024 SHINE with wit and humor and a ton of good books to read!

What the heck. Let’s go ahead and get started. If you have a book or two you’d like to promote, email me, and I’ll save some dates for you, starting in February.

In the meantime, have a super day, everyone, and a wonderful year ahead!

Granny Says Happy New Year, Everybody!

Hi, Everyone! Just a quick heads up to let you know I am hoping to get all my regular features back up and running over the next few weeks. Today, I’m looking for folks who might be interested in taking part in #TenThingsYouMayNotKnowAboutMe over the weeks ahead. I can book dates for you every other Wednesday, starting March 16, and on into the foreseeable future. If you think you’d like to take part, email me, and we’ll reserve a date for you. ( marciameara16@gmail.com )

The good news is, you don’t have to have your post materials to me until about ten days or so before the day we’ve saved for you. For information on what I’ll need from you by that point, please check in the header bar above under General Blog Rules and Various Feature Instructions.

This #TenThings feature has been one of the most fun things we’ve shared here on The Write Stuff, and I hope a lot of you will want to take part. Don’t forget, it doesn’t have to be a list of jaw-dropping experiences, though those are pretty interesting, for sure. But the idea is to get to know each other better, and perhaps have a laugh or two while doing so. AND, you get to promote your books at the end of the post, as well.

I’ll be waiting to start filling in the dates as soon as I hear from some of you. And if you have any questions, please know you are always welcome to email me, and I’ll try my best to answer them.

Can’t wait to see who’ll be next up for this fun event! (And if I’ve forgotten anything here, just give me a nudge and I’ll add it to this post.)

Thanks! And let the fun begin!
