Wow! This is so GREAT. I’m truly flattered and thankful that writers out there are finding Written Road useful. We just made Writers Digest’s 2005 101 Best Websites for Writers List. You can find Written Road and the nice plug they gave me in the “Niche” section. Now, how many hours will I spend pouring through all their other award winners. Have some free time? Check out all the other websites doing their best to make our writing lives easier.

Thanks, Writers Digest! And all of you who nominated or voted for us.
