Day 3 of the Reviews and Predictions Group Writing Project has seen yet another solid round of submissions – 74 in all today (which brings the total so far to 208 – see them all here).

I think I may have already found another person to add as a contributor to dipnoi by participating in this project.
Oops – one of your links seems to be incorrect. Can you please check out the one for:
“You don’t have to be a writer to be a Blogger! by Tim” – it’s currently linking to the same page as the one directly below it, “Yoyos and Peanuts by Sophie”
:-) Thanks. I just found your blog last week, and have been soaking up all the good advice!
-NB
Thanks for including me! However, the link listed before mine for “You don’t have to be a writer to be a Blogger” by Tim is linking to my site, too. Just thought Tim might like his own link! Or, were you slamming me? :-)
Darren, FYI, the link to “You don’t have to be a writer to be a Blogger! by Tim” actually goes to “YoYo’s and Peanuts” the post directly below it. I figure this is probably an accident. Wouldn’t want Tim to get left out.
I think it’s just a harder time of year to get people to actually site down and right in length. Maybe that is why the numbers are down from last time?
First time participant and devot ProBlogger reader.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the wisdom you have provided us all in the past year (since I have been reading your blog). Your a mentor in my eyes.
Here’s to 2007 – “The Year Of ProBlogger!”
Thanks John for noticing I was just about to post, the link to my piece is

Cheers

Darren, similarly FYI, the post “Will 2007 Mark the End of Digg? by Kris” links to my post below it, “2006: My year in anime/manga goods”. I’m sure Kris would prefer her own link, rather than mine. :) Thank you!
[…] For the reviews and predictions project […]
Well, since ya’ll are commenting on the mistakes, and since they’re kind of funny …
A Writer’s Reflections by Karen links to Rob Withams’ Looking Back and Renewing Priorities. Though Rob’s a handsome dude, not what people are expecting when looking for Karen, ya know?
Thanks all – my apologies but yesterday was a LONG day and I did this post late :-(
all fixed now
Hey Darren, ya, I imagine you’re exhausted. It’s difficult just to read through all these myself – I can’t imagine what you’re going through reading and linking entries, all on top of trying to keep your own site updated with fresh content in the process.
Thank you for giving our bloggies such a wonderful christmas pressie through this writing project. I’ve certainly discovered some really interesting sites through this.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.
=^..^=
No problem Darren we all pulled long nights and know the signs love the writing project idea.
