A Call For Talent – Blogging Writers

Drum roll please…

Since you are reading this post, I will assume that you are a writer who blogs (or plans to start one in the near future).

Anyway, I am looking for some writers who are interested in starting a blog chain. A blog chain involves a group of like-minded individuals who participate group activities by writing posts and commenting on the posts of all other members.

Okay, sounds confusing? Let me give an example. Say there are seven people in the group. One member will start the activity that week, and in this case it can be anything related to writing. For instance, she chooses to blog about “why I write”. For each day of that week, a member will write his/her own opinion about the topic. Next week, the activity will be decided by another member, such as using a picture for a short writing prompt. And so on.

There are many benefits to getting involved in a blog chain, such as:

- it adds to your platform as a writer

- you get the benefit of a blogging group, yet your blog retains its individuality

- increasing number of visitors and comments

- more sites linking to your blog (and thus higher ranking on search engines)

- you will meet other writers, learn from them, and share your experience

So, are you interested in joining me to start a writer’s blog chain? Are you sick of trying to come up with ideas for posts ? Do you simply need some motivation? Do you hope to meet other struggling (or successful) writers?

Leave your name and your blog in the comment box.

You have until next Sunday, April 5th to answer this call for talent.

Thanks.

  1. That sounds fantastic. Count me in.

  2. Great ^^

    My friend Sophia, a fellow writer, is also interested. But she can”t do it right now, so she may join us later when we started.

  3. Sounds cool… and would probably motivate me to blog more often. I’ll join you, then. =]

  4. I saw a link to your post under Mary Lindsey’s post on her blog chain today. I would love to be a part of this. Not sure if you’re looking for anyone specific but I write YA fiction (mostly fantasy) while looking for representation on my first finished novel.

    Check out my blog http://www.sometimesnonsense.blogspot.com
    and see what you think.

    Thank you!

  5. I am not looking for anyone specific. But it’s good that we all happen to write YA fiction and some fantasy too…

  6. I’m in! XD

  7. Ooh, sounds fun, I haven’t started a blog yet, and my writing is not very developed. Is it OK if I still join?

  8. Great site this flamesandshadows.wordpress.com and I am really pleased to see you have what I am actually looking for here and this this post is exactly what I am interested in. I shall be pleased to become a regular visitor :)

  9. Kim: welcome!

    JuJu: we are planning to start as a possible with the blog chain. If you can commit to blogging once a week and leaving comments, you are welcome to join us when you have a blog.

    wootHFupcoots: Thanks for visiting! I am glad you like my blog.

  10. Cool :) . I don’t think I can start blogging just yet (but I’ll try soon), but I’ll comment on all of the blogs until I can.

  11. Hey. I’m a friend of Jenita who just started her own blog.
    I am a writer and sometimes poet who is… somewhat lost as to how to get out there and also find something to write about that someone wants to read.

    I was looking at Jenita’s blog and admittedly found the entire idea of a blog chain to be really neat.

    So I followed it and ended up here, at its beginning to find that the deadline was long past (well, not too long, really, but long enough past).

    I was wondering if I could join still, or if it really is too late.
