In what amounts to clear proof the editors of Writer’s Digest are abusing their medical marijuana card, they have — for the third consecutive year — picked the Underground as one of their 101 Best Websites for Writers.
(You’ll find the list in their June, 2012 issue.)
There are some puzzling aspects to this. And maybe a lesson or two.
First, I invest far more time in my fly fishing blog than here, and for that effort I’ve been abused by two magazine editors and received several threatening emails from miners (don’t ask).
On the Writer Underground, people leave polite comments, a publisher inquired if I was interested in writing a book, and editors give me awards.
There is, I think, a lesson here. Let me know if you figure it out first.
Keep writing, Tom Chandler.
“The pen is mightier than the rod”?
That’s not quite it… But hey, look on the bright side. You could be getting threatening emails from minors.
Congrats Tom! Your blog is definitely in my Top 101!

Thanks. Nice to know I’m in your top 101, especially being as you following like two dozen sites…
In any case, it’s always nice to read a comment that doesn’t include the words “you,” “asshole” and “pliers.”

Congratulations! I’m not surprised; I think it has a lot to do with your charm, style, roguish good looks, and bon vivant wit. (Did I read the cue card right?)
Cheers,
Paul

I couldn’t agree more on the roguish good looks front. Clearly the secret to my success.
