For months now I've been wanting to open up my blog to others needing a place to vent, share, or otherwise espouse ideas they can't or won't in their own worlds. Be it because they have a certain image to uphold in the blogging community, don't have their own blogs, or just don't believe they can share with anyone in real life I'd like everyone to have, at least, the opportunity to get it out there.
Therefore, I am officially calling for readers of This is Worthwhile to use my platform as yours, completely anonymously (and safely) to share your thoughts and ideas.
Here's how it will work:
- Email me here with your submission.
- Let me know if you want to be posted anonymously, under a pseudonym, or as yourself.
- Likewise, you can submit your writing to me under whatever name you'd like as well.
- You can write about anything at all. Heavy, light, humorous, sad, political, whatever.
- I will only apply light editing to grammar, not content, so the writing is yours.
Above all else, I really want this to be a safe place for people who need it. I've gotten a lot of feedback from readers saying they wish they could share how they really feel about whatever, but they can't out of fear of judgment, ridicule, or criticism.
And it doesn't have to be all heavy stuff, although, that is certainly welcome.
So, hello! to all the would-be bloggers!! I'm really, really looking forward to this!
For the readers, there are some guidelines, as well:
- No mean, nasty, judgmental comments. They won't even be published.
- If you know the identity of the person posting, keep it to yourself.
- You may comment anonymously, as well. Just log out of Blogger and comment anonymously.
Yay! I'm so excited about this!!
This is the most brilliant idea EVER.
ReplyDeleteLove this. I know a few other bloggers who were planning on launching something like this but never did so I'm glad you did! I have my own blog but am often wary to post certain topics because of my family readership so I may submit something soon!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm sure one day I'll contribute something. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic idea! I can't wait...
ReplyDeleteI like that you're doing this. I have to say that there have been several times that I've wanted to vent about something on my blog but couldn't because I know certain people read it.
