Share Your Story — Be a Guest Shut Up Blogger

If you haven’t noticed lately, we’ve been a tad imperfect about updating this blog. We’ve also been a tad imperfect about cleaning our houses, parenting our children, cooking for our husbands, blah, blah, blah. While those of you out in the blogosphere can’t help us become better housecleaners (trust us our mother tried for decades), you can help us carry on the mission of this blog, which is to offer humor and support for caregivers of special needs children, by participating as guest bloggers. We know many caregivers of special needs children dabble in writing when they have time between fielding school calls, filing IEP paperwork, and making different meals for their picky eaters.  So, in order to give them a platform, we’re going to try and feature a special guest blogger a few times a week. If you’d like to participate, just zap us an email at info@shutupabout.com with a brief bio and a link to the blog you’d like to feature. We’ll contact you to let you know when the blog will appear so that you can let your imperfect fans know. If you hope to write a book someday, it’s critical to have a “Platform” to attract readers. This could help draw traffic to your blog to build that platform. Keep in mind that wearing platform shoes, though stylish, will not get you published alone.  Once this is up and running and successful, we’ll invite some of you over to help us with other aspects of our imperfect lives – such as battling dust bunnies.  Thank you all for your tremendous support. Send us your work and help us spread The Movement of Imperfection.
