I just got role manager from http://redalt.com/Resources/Plugins/Role+Manager
I extracted the zip and created a folder in my website plugins folder called role manager, under my cpanel I activated it.
How exactly do I manager it?
All I want to do is to have writers have something like 'send for approval' on their posts so then an admin can approve it and publish it, i.e. writers shouldn't have a publish post option.
Don't know that you need the Role Manager plugin for that.
If you make a user a Contributer then the posts they save will be saved as 'drafts' then your Administrators and Editors can publish those 'Other's drafts'.

Yeah but in that case, how would the admin know that a post is ready to be published? That's why I wanted something like "Send for approval"
Consider creating a Category for that, then the Admin would change the Category and Publish the post.

That's a nice workaround, however, the category would display on the 'category list' and if people clicked on it they would get a page with no posts on it.
Exclude that category from the list.

Exactly in which file do you I need to paste that code into?
Depends on where you are displaying your Categories but typically that would be your Theme's sidebar.php file.

I pasted it but it didn't work, it displayed all the posts I had made =\
I pasted replacing
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>
Any suggestions?
I thought role manager would help since on some posts I saw when searched for this, people were mentioning it... what's role manager for then?
