Coming Soon: More Special Guest Bloggers

Ever since I started this blog in January 2007, I have had a healthy number of posts written ready to post for when I didn't have time to scratch out something.
There was also many half written ones or a few paragraphs to expand on and some ideas for blog posts but the Folder on my Desktop is becoming very bare as I haven't really had the time to replenish them.
I have been writing a bunch in one sitting when I get the chance and post dating them so some of the Christmas ones from last December were tapped out in the Summer and the idea is always to use them and fill in the gaps with freshly written topical ones but for the first time in 18 years, I am running out.   
Not running out of ideas, I have plenty of them and there is no end of things to write about but it is finding the time to do them.
The posts which were most time consuming were the Special Guest Blogger ones although I did enjoy doing them, the Rev would email me the person and all the highlights (and lowlights) of their lives and I would arrange it into a 500 word satire of them and the Rev would nick the best bits on the Saints and Religious figures for his Services as a thank you.  
The number we wrote hit 720 and people seemed to like them and to be fair they were lots of fun to write, he even arranged them into some sort of order and created some free Ebooks for people to download and so we are doing some more with the idea of making up the round 1,000.
Whether we can think of another 280 dead people to write about is another matter, i kinda think we have hit all the main people from Kings and Queens to Actors, Musicians and even Saints and Deity's but trawling around for famous dead people is his job, mine is to try and stay as historically accurate as possible while making the posts entertaining to read by, basically, taking liberties with them and their achievements.   
I imagine we will delve into mythology quite a bit as they are the most fun ones to write but we plan to start posting them around Summer.
