Ok, folks. Let me ask you this question- How often do you write an article in a week to be published on your blog?
How long do you normally spend time on your PC just to get the hottest buzzes on the web, and make a blog post that will attract visitors from our very own blogging-buddy, GOOGLE (Don’t ask me why Google, just check out the stats).
If you are going to ask me, well- I normally spend almost eight hours a day blogging not including weekends. But, it’s not a big deal for now. We all know hard works pay off, no way to object that. However, it should be better if we can make everything we do as simple as possible.

I was stumbled to a guest post of Carlos Velez on Website in a Weekend, one of my favourite blogs to visit everyday. Carlos talked about the benefits of pre-writing for the bloggers. Pre-writing by the way is a powerful and an effective technique to come up with a good content. Most writers use this technique. Let’s face the fact that we all are not going to reach the level of famous authors like J.K Rowling and Dan Brown, just to name two. But as a blogger, we need at least to map our work and come up with good contents, so that it would appeal to our readers.

So what is the Pre-Writing Challenge?

On the second part of Carlos’ article, a group of bloggers (beginners and PROs) came up with an idea of pre-writing blog posts, enough to be published in a span of one month. I’ll share you the link tomorrow once it’s available so you can learn more about it. Meanwhile, you can head over to the Pre-Writing Challenge Forum to see other helpful information.

What is this Pre-Writing Challenge Page for?

If you are currently subscribed to Cebu Tech Blogger, you will still receive a series of blogs. But of course, it’s related mostly to the niche of this blog. Since I’m participating with the Pre-Writing Challenge, I’ll think of something new for this blog and I will post the updates on this page. Just also to give you a chance to know what I’m doing and what I have already done.

Who are the Pre-Writing Challengers?

As I’ve said, this challenge is open for the beginners and pro (I’m one of the beginners actually, LOL). Quite excited to know them? Well, here is the partial list. If you are interested of joining or have already joined, but not yet included in the list- just let me know. So, here we go:
