Thursday Talkback: Guest bloggers

Hey guys, it looks like next week is going to be a busy week for me. I'm taking a much needed vacation and I'm currently taking several days off from reading in order to focus on a rewrite of my latest spec. I'm feeling really good about this one - like it could be The One. I really want to give it my full attention so I can't afford to take the time to write a few blog posts ahead of time.

So I just wanted to poll you guys and see how you felt about a few guest columnists next week. I'm hoping to get some friends to contribute, most of whom are aspiring writers. They're funny guys and great writers, but can't donate the time it takes to blog everyday.

So what do you say you give these guys a shot? Are you game? I haven't locked anyone in yet - a few aren't sure they have time to write, while others are nervous about being "the fill-in." They think I should just take the week off. I say there's a long tradition of cartoonists and columnists having someone fill in for their serial work, and I'd love to give a few writers a shot.

So what do you say? You up for a guest blogger or three next week?
