Can anyone suggest a easy way to get a listing (for authenticated users) of nodes currently awaiting approval?

We are using OG, OG content type control, and node approval and it does what we want, however, authors cannot retrieve thier works inprogress if they have not written down the url for the node, because the node has yet to be approved.

The node approval module prevents non-approved nodes from displaying for anyone other than an administrator or author, however the author can always access it, but it is problematic if they forget the url.

I was thinking of trying to creat some kind of view or database query to retrieve and display
a list of links to the nodes waiting approval, which would only be accessible to authenticated authors, but I am very new to all this and don't know where to start.

I would appreciate any suggestions, pointers or examples, thanks.
