Write To Done: Leo Babauta's Unmissable Articles About Writing

I'm wondering if anyone noticed that I took a voluntary break in writing WritersCrunch...I've been really busy with some projects that I'm starting off February 1st. These projects took me away from being online and have been more of brainstorming, research and writing offline. More gists later.

I took a peep today at my Reader and found that I've got lots to catch up with. My first look was at Zen Habits, where I discovered an interesting new blog Write To Done by Leo Babauta. The author of the ebook Zen To Done, created the new blog as a way to share some of what he has learned as a professional writer, as well as helping writers improve their craft and art of writing.

Write To Done is aimed at writers from professionals to people who want to be writers or enjoy writing, bloggers, aspiring novelists and poets to freelance writers. The blog will be covering many topics such as journalism, blog writing, freelance writing, fiction, non-fiction, getting a book deal, the business of writing, the habit of writing. And so on.

I found the post: How to Write First Thing in the Morning very practical for me. What about you? What did you find interesting in the new blog?

The 10 Best Posts of WritersCrunch in 2007!

It was an interesting year for me for so many reasons. Most importantly, I started this blog in October 2007, though I had been blogging since late 2006 for other sites. Since I wrote my first post on this blog, my passion has not quenched.

Here, I'm presenting to you my 10 best posts since October 2007 to date especially for new readers and my current subscribers too.

They are...

I hope to continue posting and profiling on WritersCrunch from January 2008 and really appreciate your readership and comments. If you would like me to write about your blog or profile your posts free of charge, please send me an email.

Have a Great Year 2008!

P.S. Watch out for a post on January 1st about new books to be published in 2008.

WritersCrunch is One Month Today!

Today is November 27, 2007! A unique date for a reason (amongst others) that I'd be glad to share in this post. I started this blog exactly one month ago on October 27, 2007. The site's stats within the past 30 days has been remarkable given it's content and scope and the fact that it's a new weblog.

Thus, with over 1000 hits in one month, almost 200 unique visitors in November, and an average of 3 feed subscribers, I'm fired up to continue posting and profiling on WritersCrunch. The site welcomes visitors mostly from the U.S., U.K, France, Canada, Germany, Japan, and other countries.

WritersCrunch replaces iLive

I started this blog two weeks ago on October 27 and recently set up the site feed. It's been a really interesting experience watching the hits, visitors, page views and above all feed subscribers. So far site visitors have been mostly from the US, UK, France, Canada and Germany.

Now, the blog recently changed it's name from iLive to WritersCrunch, but with the same concept, and more features like 'JobJoint' for freelance blogging and writing jobs on the internet; 'Crunchy News', where you can read current and crunchy news about the writing career and writers.

I appreciate your readership and comments and hope that you'll find the right resources from the WritersCrunch Feed.

It's Crunching, Folks!

Hi, my name is Loy Okezie! I've been writing for over a decade now and have developed a passion for this art. My blogging experience since 2006 has given me great pleasure and satisfaction and has motivated me to create two niche blogs - WritersCrunch and SocialCrunch.

WritersCrunch is a weblog created on October 27, 2007 that shares resources on writing as a career. The blog posts writing contests, writing jobs and writing events as well as gists about my writing career and inspiration. WritersCrunch will be passionately profiling and promoting successful and aspiring writers as well as best-selling authors who are creatively carving a niche in their writing career.

Currently, I am the editor of WritersCrunch and also involved with other projects including a fiction novel I've been writing - not sure if I should let the cat out of the basket yet:), and it's been fun and rewarding!
