Late March ‘Digging Newsletter’
!New! Special Edition for the month of May — start digging guys!
First let me thank everyone for their continued support and stories. Without you wonderful authors and editors, I could not keep this publication going.
However, I’m BEGGING you all to please read the guidelines before sending something. I’ve had to turn down stories due to cursing, too much pushing of religion or politics, affiliate links, and tons of CTAs.
I just want stories. The guidelines tell you everything you need, if you’re not sure, please just ask.
New Topic in Each Issue (extra, not mandatory)
Before an issue is sent out, I let everyone know ahead what the special topic is for the ‘List’ feature.
Maybe I confused people with the List feature. I seem to have.
The List feature is nothing more than giving you the opportunity to send more than one story at a time (2 to 3) in a LIST, for a specific topic — in addition TO or INSTEAD of a regular story.
I don’t know how to say this any differently. I’m sorry if I confused everyone. Live and learn, right!?
The topic for an upcoming issue will be mentioned in the current issue of ‘Digging’ and also be found in the guidelines, which I update regularly. If you send a topic story in late, no worries, it’ll still be highlighted somewhere in the next issue.
PLEASE keep in mind, you may send any story at any time, if it meets the requirements.
Let me say it again — You may always send any story if it follows regular guidelines— but if you wish to send one for the ‘topic’ of that issue, you may send a single story or put 2–3 in a List, and send the List. If you do that, please label it like this: Topic — Your Name (i.e., Insects — VM Landi).
Topics for the coming up issue will be in the Guidelines, as well as in the current issue of ‘Digging Up Bones.’
On another note —
Special Editions — we have one coming up in May!
The only exception to our regular issues (with regular stories and extra topic stories) is when I run a SPECIAL EDITION of ‘Digging Up Bones’ which could be for a holiday, season, or for fun.
We published a few Special Editions in previous months: One for the Holidays and one for Valentine’s. It’s time for another!
MAY — Special Edition — ‘Bloopers and Embarrassing Moments’
You know, embarrassing, humiliating, bloopers, poor judgement days, stuff you wish you hadn’t done and hope everyone forgot, and so on.
When I started digging through mine I thought I would find one or two — it turned out I have more than that — you probably have a few also, please dig them up and send the URL.
It will run throughout May, with as many issues as needed based on how many stories we receive.
The first issue is almost ready to go! Keep ’em coming!!!!
June — Regular ‘Digging’ editions are back
Then June we’ll go back to our regular Issues —
YOU MAY SEND STORIES NOW for the June regular issue, or for the SPECIAL BLOOPERS EDITION issues. For a better description of what we want for these special edition issues, please read the Guidelines.
I hope I clarified everything. Feel free to ask if you’re not sure.
Whew! Lots of stuff. I enjoy highlighting old stories and wish to keep this publication going. I know we’re all busy, but it’s so much easier for you to take a look through your stuff that may be appropriate than for me to.
