Hi guys! A number of questions have arisen by readers about Write To Done. It pains me that I haven’t been writing for WTD as much as I had planned. I started WTD as an outlet for writing about writing, as I felt I had a lot to say on the topic but couldn’t really post those articles here on Zen Habits. It was a good idea, I think, but I just don’t have the time that I had hoped I would.
As a result, the blog has been (kinda) inactive in recent months. I’ve published some good guest posts, but not many by me.
However, I’m excited to announce that Mary Jacksch of Goodlife Zen will be taking over Write To Done as the new Chief Editor. Mary and I have some great plans for WTD and I think you’ll be seeing some excellent stuff from both Mary and me in the coming months.
To start with, Mary will get us back into a regular posting schedule, starting with once per week and building up to twice per week very soon. I will also be posting at least monthly, and we’ll have some good guest writers and interviews as well.
Mary is a published author, a blogger, and a Zen master, so I think she’s pretty much perfect for the job. :)
Please welcome Mary and subscribe to WTD if you’re interested in writing or blogging.

Congratulations Mary. As Leo says, you are perfect for the job being a writer and a Zen master. How many of those are there around! I look forward to seeing what you have for us over the next few months. Glad to hear a regular posting schedule will be back.
Cheers

A big welcome to Mary, and Leo, it’s encouraging in a weird way that you haven’t been able to post here often - means you don’t actually walk on water, and there’s hope for us lesser mortals!

What excellent news! A huge welcome, Mary, and I hope you have a fantastic time as editor.
I’ve been eyeing my silent RSS feed for Write to Done for a while (I keep checking the site in case it’s me, not you ;-)) and it’s wonderful to see things starting up again. There’s some excellent content on here, and I very much look forward to reading more.

I’m looking forward reading from you Mary!
One quick advice for the blog: I’d like to suggest to increase the font-size of the blog, maybe use the space of the second sidebar for the text-field also. The text is just too small, especially for a blog on writing :)
I know the theme Grid Focus and it is great, except that little fact.
