A Free Tool to Help Organize Your Freelance Writing Life

by Amy Derby on October 16, 2007

My pet peeve of list-making is no big secret. Thus, I’m not generally on the prowl for organizational software of the list-making variety. However, while searching for something completely unrelated, I came across wridea.com.

Wridea.com offers writers unique options for organizing ideas and collaborating on projects. I signed up just to take a look, and I found it very impressive for a free service. I just played around with it, but I didn’t find any annoying bugs or kinks. Those of you who are organization freaks might want to try it out.

If you’re already using wridea.com, or if you decide to give it a go, leave a comment! I’d love to know your opinion.
