Writers Block Live

If you haven’t already entered, better do it now. The deadline for entries is midnight on Saturday the 18th. You could win a lovely new iPod, or one of the other cool prizes. Here’s the scoop: Link Exchange Contest.

I have to be away from the site for a while, focusing on two or three pressing projects which I’ve been neglecting. (It would be so easy to just sit in front of the Mac all day working on Writers Block Live; if only I could.) Thanks to everyone who offered their thoughts on how to make this site better; I’ll be ‘absorbing’ all that while I’m gone. Mike.

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with my favorite quote about writing, from Blaise Pascal:

“I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.”

Note: The contest has ended. Thanks to everyone who participated. Read about the winners here.

I could use some help to spread the word about Writers Block Live, and you could probably use some cool free stuff. Those two needs have come together as the foundation for the first Writers Block Link Exchange Contest. In exchange for links to Writers Block Live on your website(s) you get a link on Writers Block Live, and more importantly you’ll get a shot at five excellent prizes, including a 30 GB iPod. The winners will be chosen in a random drawing to be held on Feb 19, 2006.

Update – Thanks to everyone who gave feedback here. It has helped to confirm some key points:
