This week marks the 2nd anniversary of There Are No Rules!

To celebrate, I'm giving away a Writer's Digest VIP package and the option to attend the September Editors' Intensive for a free 50-page critique and appointment with yours truly. (Read fine print below, please!)

If you'd like to participate, then all you have to do is comment on THIS post, and answer one of these two questions:

  • What's the most helpful writing advice you've read online in the past year? (You must provide a link to the advice.)
  • What advice or instruction have you been searching for online, but haven't been able to find? (Please elaborate as much as possible.)

On April 5 at noon EST, I'll choose a winner (from eligible comments) at random (using Random.org) and post news of the winner on this blog, as well as on Twitter.
