Wanted: Thinking Writers
People sometimes leave a comment like "What kind of thinking blog is this?" or like "I thought this was a thinking blog." Well, it is about the stuff that makes me think and topics that I hope you find are worth pondering on too. However, I do it so that there is still something left to discuss. Hence, it would be no surprise that most posts here will not tell you what to think (or what I think, for that matter). If it still doesn't feel right, here is a chance to show how a thinking blog really SHOULD be!
Last time I published a post like this one, I was looking for guest writers who were interested in writing a "thinking" article. This time, however, I'm also looking for permanent writers who would be interested in writing "thinking" articles on a regular basis - and if you need some incentives, I'm willing to give them!
This is a great opportunity to expose yourself to a whole new audience and also get some link love at the same time. Your article will include a sentence like "This is a guest post by [insert name and link to your blog here]." Readers who enjoy your style will definitely click through and even subscribe to your RSS feed. You can link to anywhere relevant in the post, including your own blog, and include as many images or videos as you like (the more the better).
Couple of ground rules:
Meanwhile, make sure you have the RSS feed or have the posts delivered to your email so you don't miss out on your daily dose of fuel to keep thinking!

Couple of ground rules:
1. No ReligionYou can write about anything else. If you need some inspiration, browse some of the categories, have a look at the all-time most popular posts, go for a random post if you are feeling lucky, or check out the "thinking" posts of the past on one page by clicking these: 2006, 2007, 2008.
2. No Politics
How to contribute: All you need to do is email me your entry with the subject "TTB - [insert appropriate catchy HEADLINE here]", I will edit and publish it. Don't forget to include your name and blog URL so I can give the appropriate credit with the post. If you wish to introduce what you write about on your blog, feel free to include a short descriptive sentence like "[NAME] writes many times a week about [TOPIC]." Important: I will not publish duplicate content. Please submit original articles exclusively for The Thinking Blog and don't post it elsewhere on the net.

You are familiar with my blogs. Please feel free t pick and choose as long as you give me attribution for authorship. I'm not really good at collective work.
Thank you Tina for leaving this comment. I forgot to mention that I will not publish duplicate content. Please submit articles exclusively for The Thinking Blog and don't post it elsewhere on the net.
I saw you invitation on my message board in MyblogLot. Are you saying that I cannot even post it on my own blog after I send you my post?
I very well might send you something in the future. Most likely it would present our culture's blind acceptance to various customs that contradict what we like to think of as our national character. They would not be overtly political but probably would consider how we abide and honor one law and regard a similar, often less harmful act as abhorrent.
I write book and music reviews and sometimes cover cultural events but almost always those are art-works that inspired me and I'd want to promote them on more than one platform.
I'll be glad to think with you. Unfortunately after my last visit to Bangkok, Pattaya and Kanchanaburi I can think only about Thailand. As for thinking about Religion and Politics, I’m agreeing but for this it's better to break my TV.
I was doing some research for a friend about writing and saw your request. I'll pass your idea along. She's very good at writing and may be very interested in your offer.
Thanks everyone!
@Jaunesk: It's best for both of us to not have duplicate content for SEO reasons. Google might mark 2nd, 3rd..etc. duplicate posts as a splog post and that will hurt ranking/reputation.
Thanks for invite me, I have some topic about spiritual dimension that I will write in my blog. But I'm not too good in Grammar, what do you think
Imhar, send it in (only if you will not publish it elsewhere) and I will correct your grammar, mistakes, typos and errors before I publish it.
Worst case, when I receive something that I don't feel is appropriate for The Thinking Blog then I will let you know and you can post it on your own blog.
Hey ilker, I would be interested in doing this :-) I will send you an article.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Sounds interesting.. I like to think about all sorts of things, but I'm so busyt it's hard to even get my own work done... but maybe I'll think of a topic for this
Hmm... this is very tempting. Is there a cutoff date for submissions? How do you feel about casual swearing? If you are wanting to make edits to something I were to submit, do I get final approval over your changes before it gets posted?
I put up a post on my blog for Writers.

I'd be interested in a guest post.

@Zesty: In response to your questions:
1. There is no cutoff date for submissions.
2. Swearing and ranting is really not the style of this blog but depending on the context we might oversee a little bit. Aside from being thought provoking, I like to share articles that are also informative and objective.
3. Yes, you do get final approval of the changes.
@Julia Ward: Thank you so much for spreading the word. Much appreciated! =)
I'm also looking forward to your article submissions.
I'd be up for this if I can just remember to do it! I love your blog, so I would be happy to be a part of it.
Thanks for the invite.

No humor intended, I will give this some thought. In the mean time, I will post a blurb about it on my two blogs
iPentimento and Pentimento
I was just "thinking" last night and put an article on iPentimento about War. Too bad it has already been published online. :) http://ipentimento.com/imho-why-there-must-be-wars/
Thank you for the invitation, Ilker. I will write you a private message on MyBlogLog with what I have in mind, and if you agree... we go for it. :)
Thank you Ilker for the invite. Surely, I'll send you something sooner or later.
By the way...
I have the same type opportunity for people who wish to be apart of MoneyGirls On The Internet. So here's the invite for this as well.
Looks like you will have your hands full editing.
uhmmm can i ask something
how will i know you received the articles?
I will reply your email and you will know.
I think you must visit my blog!

Hello,
I am very intrigued by the possibilities. I have been so accused of being a deep thinker and I do tend to write often about what I've been thinking. Ironically, one subject matter I cover, Truth (if there is such a thing), has me delve into spiritual conversations too. This may not fly for you. That being said, there is a great deal of other material related to the human experience, society, and so on that might be of great interest.
Given that I also write for myself, and a few other sites with either a business or print-news focus, I'm certain that given your current and upcoming focus, your invitation suggests you would have no problem offering a feature focus idea to an interested writer. So let's discuss and give it a whirl.
My one request is that a byline with a link-back to my own site might also be considered. My site is http://www.onemancan.ca and I welcome your visit. You will get a much stronger sense of my abilities.
Cheers, Lee

Are you still looking for submissions?
Hey Mark.. yes I do! =)
Hello, I've sent an article for your consideration, called "Jamais Vu".
Regards,
Mark

I think the great majority of people are still unconcious, for they are sleeping in the past reality where they think like we were always told to think, being their personalities just an efect of other peoples acts, and thinking they are justified, yet there are many awakening just now and trying to figure out that we are just completely free of being who we choose to be.

Good Morning!!! www.thethinkingblog.com is one of the most outstanding informational websites of its kind. I take advantage of reading it every day. I will be back.
I'm the kind of hombre who passions to seek bran-new things. Presently I'm manufacturing my own solar panels. I am making it all alone without the help of my men. I am using the internet as the only path to acheive that. I saw a very awesome website which explains how to contruct photovoltaic panels and so on. The site explains all the steps involved in building photovoltaic panels.
I'm not exactly sure about how accurate the information given there is. If some people over here who have experience with these things can have a peak and give your feedback in the thread it will be grand and I'd highly value it, cauze I truly lav solar panel construction.
Tnx for reading this. U people are the best.
The author of www.thethinkingblog.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: 30 seconds after permanently deleting/throwing/burning it, you need it. Thanks for the info.
I am to a great extent impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the author of www.thethinkingblog.com can continue to provide so much productive information and unforgettable experience to www.thethinkingblog.com readers. There is not much to state except the following universal truth: Nothing sounds more fun than the sound of a primary school at break time. I will be back.
