Successful bloggers who moved on

  • Seattle writergrrrrl and fellow Hugo House blog instructor Rebecca Agiewich scored her first novel deal, Breakup Babe, after chronicling her dating life online. She retired http://breakupbabe.blogspot.com when she realized the confessional wasn't helping said dating life. Now she keeps a less revealing diary at Sparkly, Sparkly (http://houseofsparkle.blogspot.com).

  • Author Edward Readicker-Henderson gave himself 131 posts on Unexpected World, then packed up shop. "I found it was taking energy away from the rest of my writing. I also started to feel like I was repeating myself, and so boring myself." http://readicker-henderson.blogspot.com

  • Jen Leo launched Written Road, "the inside scoop for the travel publishing world": http://www.writtenroad.com. She moved onto projects about poker and Las Vegas, as well as editing anthologies. A team of volunteers took over Written Road, but standards have slid.
