Yes, he focuses tightly on novelists, but he is so funny I'd read him purely for entertainment value. His e-zine is really where his sense of humor comes across, actually, and it's one of the most widely subscribed e-zine in the world of fiction writing... but his blog gets more deeply into the meaty goodness of writing the Next Great Novel, a Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. Half the work is marketing yourself and your writing, of course... and as I focus mainly on articles, I treasure everything he says on marketing. A vein of gold for me in a rich mine for novelists.

She identifies themes (writing with confidence, with transparency, with respect) and then builds a community of comments, of guest writers, of links. She is about helping writers build confidence...and does it in part by listening to us and building our confidence as correspondents and commenters and contributors. She invites us into her sitting room, serves tea, and delights in the conversation. <abbr><em>Jon Swanson's last blog post..<a href="http://levite.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/seven-years-and-2751-moments-later/" rel="nofollow">Seven years and 2751 moments later</a></em></abbr> Joanna Young at http://www.confidentwriting.com is where I go for writing.

She's going to have a book deal any day now. Her memoirs are crisp, poignant, a perfect mix of sweet and sour, and never cliche. I never know where she's going next, but in that winding country road way, not that "lost" way. That's my vote. Ann Handley hands down. http://www.annhandley.com .

I would like to thank Cath, Kevin and Brett for your votes. I didn't even know this competition was happening. LOL, talking about having my head stuck in the toilet bowl. Oops. Anyway, I really appreciate most of the nominated blogs here. Granted, I don't know all of them but many are in my reader. It is hard to vote, because I don't like to pull favorites at all. However, because of the name of the game it will have to be www.MenWithPens.ca simply for the reason that I have learned so much from these guys and while I don't have the time to engage in their awesome discussions, I still read them most days. Plus James and Harry are great bloggers who really care about their crowd. Go the Pen Man. Rock on! Wow, what a nice surprise to come back to.
