Originally, this was going to take place in February, but LJ failing at sending me notifs has moved it to March.
Throughout the month of March I'll be posting pieces of writing related to Lyme Disease and chronic illness in general.
See, after my health stopped me from updating http://www.lifewithlyme.net for several years, I'm able to write on it again. I'm revamping the layout and writing regularly, and a great deal. I'm also beyond broke and in debt, hence the blogathon helping from all angles! Here's how it works, and the three ways you can help out:
Way #1: Comment Here with Questions About Lyme, Being Sick, Etc.
Whether you want to sponsor me out not, comment here with anything you want to know about Lyme, connections, the treatment for them, and how having them had affected my life. Every single one will be answered in an essay in its own post.; I really want to answer the questions you actually HAVE--and enough people have said things that I know they do have questions--so please, do ask,.
Way #2: Sponsor Me!
If you want to sponsor me, you also comment here, letting me know how you want to do so.
You can do it one off three ways:
- choose to pay between $0.01 and $0.03 per word, for every word written in the blogathon.
- choose to pay an amount of your choice that you either list here or tell me you'll email me (and then do so; if you don't know my email, ask for it) for every post that goes up for the blogathon.
- choose to pay an amount of your choice that you either list here or tell me you'll email me (and then do so; if you don't know my email, ask for it) for my doing the blogathon at all.
Way #3: Link to this Post, Baby, Link-Spam Away!
Because people have to see it to participate in it.
This page has three different banners to choose from for the linking process, if you want to use them. In fact, under each one is a block of code; just copy and past it, and the banner will show up when you hit post, and it will link to this page. You don't even have to save the banners and re-upload them! I'm so kind.
The In The Lyme Light Blog-a-Thon will run for the entire month of March. So, please, comment away here! Participate in the first, second, or third way, but please, DO participate? It helps me out a ton.
Those who do actually sponsor will have individual badges made and given to them at the end of March.
Still, PLEASE, link others to this post. I'm very serious about this, because people don't know enough about Lyme, and it's the sort of thing where information needs to be spread.. And there's tons you don't know.
For example, every day, I'm at a medium-ish risk of dying from at least one thing. Some of you reading this have known me for years--but you were unaware of that information. You have no idea what, though, or why, or what caused it.
So please. In one, two, or all three of the ways possible for you to participate, do. Heck, thinking of what is too much and what's not enough to write about alone is difficult, so the questions really do mean a ton.
Off to make the post with the banners and buttons. And said banners are now up on this page here.
ETA: Here's a link to the original post. For two reasons. The first is organization. The second is some people commented there with questions or offers of sponsorship, and I want to be able to find it easily.
