As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I’m in full book writing mode, which decreases my blog writing time a bit. As per your vote a few weeks ago, I’m looking to replace my Tuesday Top Ten lists with Guest Bloggers. I’ve had two great ones, Sick Christine and John Howell. If you have a book to promote, or just want to promote yourself and your blog just say so in the comments.
Have you ever woke up, got out of bed and dragged a comb across your head, then checked your blog stats? Yes, I’m sure we all do it. At 6 a.m. this morning I got up and checked for comments and what yesterdays stats were. (I love following my blog views throughout the day). Normally when I wake up there’s a very moderate number of overnight views. Today I woke up to what is usually a good, full days worth of viewing stats. Looking at what was getting so much attention, it turned out to be my Music Monday post this week. It’s a video of a Japanese girl trio who sings heavy metal songs, Babymetal, singing with Judas Priest lead singer Rob Halford. I titled it as The Strangest Thing I’ve Ever Seen on a Music Stage. Apparently #Babymetal is very popular because all my views came from Japan and Twitter. Yes, that’s right, #ThePhilFactor is now trending on Japanese Twitter. If you haven’t seen the video, here it is. Rob Halford doesn’t even come on stage until the 7:40 mark.
For my new readers I’d like to say:
こんにちはBabymetalファン！ Phil Factorへようこそ
I’m with you on the full on book writing at the mo!
Great! When you publish it, let me know and I’d be happy to feature you on my blog
Aw thanks Phil! I’m only on first draft yet… but it’s been a long time coming… started it 17 years ago! And finally now back to It! And the same goes from me to you too!!!
I’d be interested in doing a guest post, Phil. Let me know if you’re interested. 🙂
Absolutely! Generally I don’t like more than 700 words if that’s ok. Write about whatever you want. I’d post it this Tuesday or next, or whenever you get it written.
Do we have to have a blog to participate?
Nope
Let me know if you’re interested
I would be, I just am not sure what to write about. 🙂 If you have ideas, hit me up on email or elsewhere (I think you know how to find me?)
They’re hypnotically adorable! And when he does come on stage they’re so chuffed, but he’s also clearly enjoying their energy and digging what they do.
Hypnotically adorable? That is such an awesome phrase that I’m trying to think of ways I can work it into conversation for the rest of the day
They must also be hypnotically popular based on the number of views that they are generating
THEY’RE TINY AND BOUNCY AND BADASS. I just watched them again, sorry.
😂 Don’t say sorry for watching them again. I love the views numbers
One way people sometimes describe them and their music is: cutesy brutal ! 🙂
That’s a good description!
A am planning to write a post on Anton Rupert’s car museum in Franschhoek, South Africa to promote Silly Willy goes to Cape Town (kids book). Would a post like that interest you?
Sure! That would be fine
I found it so much fun to be on Phil’s blog. The drinks were terrific too.
LOL
😀
Love that you are doing this, Phil! And I sure hope the words are coming easily to you as you write your book!
Would you like to do a guest post?
It would be an honour to write one for your blog. But I tend to be a bit of a wind-bag with my stories, so let me see if I can come up with one in 700 words!
To help you out so you can work on your book ;), I would love to write a guest post if you are interested in history/poetry. My new chapbook is Kin Types, based on family history and written in lyric poetry, prose poems, and flash nonfiction.
It doesn’t matter if I’m interested! If you want to borrow my audience for a day and promote your book, I’d be happy to have you. Generally, for not only my own posts but anyone else’s as well, I prefer posts 700 words or less if that’s ok with you.
OK, I will email you when I come up with something. Thank you!
Great I’m looking forward to it!
I would be interested! 🙂 you can check out my stuff first to see if you like it! mandyhalbot.com
I like your writing and your honesty in your writing. I generally prefer my blog to be family friendly. I’m good with your style and your voice but I don’t like to put anything too racy on my blog. If you want to go with some of that awesome, raw, powerful emotion I’m fine with that.
Well, I appreciate that you stopped by! I usually stick to my guns which means a tonne of inappropriate wording so perhaps it’s not in either of our interests!!
🙂 do keep reading and I will keep reading your work as well!! Goodnight ! Hope that wine hit the hot spot!
Will definitely keep reading. I did thoroughly enjoy what I did read of yours!
Likewise!!! 🙂
I’d be interested in doing a guest post on your blog! Let me know if you’re interested. 🙂
