Thanks for the thread!

I'll have to take a look, but otherwise Brandon Sanderson and some of his writing friends has a great podcast for writers: Writing Excuses they cover all sorts of things that I think any aspiring writer would find helpful.

She doesn't give the advice, she just directs the questions to articles from other writers.
