I have some exciting news!!!! I have decided to look for some new guest writers for CCL.
Why? Because like I’ve said before I want to do anything I can to help promote lesbian and queer artists. And one way I can do that is to open up my blog to new writers. Giving them a platform with a huge audience, to write for.
I always wanted to own a funky little, independent bookstore with art on the walls. I would have open mic night every Friday and turn the whole place into a gallery twice a month. Only showcasing local, new artists. Well …. that’s one of my dreams anyways. I might not have a bookstore yet. But I do have a website with an ever-increasing audience. So I figure, why not share the love?
I have already found two writers. Both of whom, I know you guys will love. But I’ll wait to reveal their names until their proper introductions.
Also, I wanted to let it be known that I will be on the lookout every now and then for new writers. It may not always be as a full-fledged “Guest Blogger” …. it might just be one piece you want to get out there and that you feel is important for others to read. Then send it in. If I think it’ll work for CCL, I will publish it and give you all credit and links to your own site, or what have you.
There are few other things I’m working on for CCL but all in good time.
So keep your eyes peeled for the soon to be revealed, newest members of the CCL family!
Sasha, I’ve loved the guest writers you’ve had so far and I love the fact that you give the floor to others now and then. It adds to the feeling of community you’ve built on your site.
You recommended reading “Stone Butch Blues” which I just finished. It was a hard read through the parts where the character is abused, but the story gave me an insight into what it was like to be butch in the day. I’m wondering if it was really that bad, and I hate to admit that I was wondering why the characters just didn’t stop going to bars they knew would be raided (though I imagine they were hungry for community, and it wasn’t as if life was all that safe elsewhere, anyway). I’m wondering if you might have any guest butch or trans writer post about what it’s like growing up butch now v.s. then, or any other thoughts they might have to offer in relation to the book.
Sasha That’s the great thing about you you’re always introducing us to new artists, new writers etc within the LGBT community. Just because we are “real dykes”
doesn’t mean all of us know about every single “well known” LGBT person out there. 
lol I love it when people are open minded and positive. 
Life is good.
