The Gumption

Enjoying your visit and wondering how you can support the Bonnywood Manor Collective? Well, there are a couple of things you can do, neither of them costing a penny or requiring a lawyer to be retained...

SPREAD THE WORD:

In whatever fashion you see fit, utilize the following URL in a healthy and supportive manner. Use it as a link on your blog if you are feeling especially generous, or at least share it with folks you know who would like to revel in diverse and creative writing. And you don't have to be a writer to share this destination. The endgame is to create an environment wherein we help each other hone our creative skills, celebrate our individual successes, and do our very best to ensure that lobster is always available in the main dining room.

STAY A SPELL:

  Check into a virtual guest room at Bonnywood Manor. As a supporter, you are showing appreciation for the blog by appearing on the guest register. As a fellow blogger, you are getting a chance to promote your own site. In either case, you get a tiny piece of real estate at Bonnywood Manor in the form of an individual blog post that is linked to your name in the guest registry.

Interested? Please put on your best spectacles and peruse the following steps:

1. Create an endearing biography about yourself. This can be completely real or totally fake, whichever avenue you choose. The bottom line is that you want to express yourself in a care-free and satisfying manner. If that means you desire to play dress-up and tell fibs, well, rush forth and do what you must. No judgement here. Of course, I will know exactly who you really are, and will fess this information in a court of law, should you do something stupid and it becomes a legal matter.

Be sure to include the full URL's for any blogs or websites where intrigued visitors can find out more about you or your work.

This bio will then be posted as a blog entry, with cute little tags so that anyone clicking on your name or room number can peruse this post.

For an example profile, click Here. Then back-arrow to this page. Or, if you've partaken of a bit too much wine, do whatever you need to do to get back to these rules.

2. Peruse the tab entitled "The Guests" to find a vacancy. You might want to spend some time learning a bit more about your potential fellow lodgers by clicking on the room-links to get all the dish. For example, if you are a Wiccan who potentially screams loudly during midnight ceremonies, you may not want to be in the same complex as someone whose blog is entitled "Quiet Christians Who Go To Bed at 8:30".

3. Compose an email with your bio and preferred room selection, and send the whole mess to BonnywoodManor@gmail.com with a Subject Field of "Bonnywood Admissions". It's entirely possible that your room may not be available when I process your request (first come, first served and all that), so ensure that you have both a secondary room option and appropriate swooning salts available should I send a shocking email back indicating that you have been usurped. (Note: You can also change rooms at any time, just by sending another email to the indicated destination.)

Once you have been assigned a room, that link becomes active so that anyone clicking on the room number will be rewarded with your bio and website links. Fine indeed, yes?
