Once again, links to terrific writing articles by other authors on the web:
Barry Eisler's column on "10 Points on Craft" is one of the best / most succinct writing lessons around. Heed the man's advice; he's an amazing writer.
Martha O'Connor has great advice in her essay, "The Devil is in the Details." Short article, but very good point.
Another excellent article on that same topic to be found at Flogging The Quill.
If you've got way too many subplots spinning around or you just want to figure out a way to analyze whether or not they're working for or against you, read Deanna Carlyle's article " Deanna’s Secret Trick for Dovetailing Subplots." I tend to do this a differently -- a future post.
And last, but not least, Kay Hooper has a very good primer at that link for writers (submission standards, etc.)
If you're a writer and you've got an entry / essay / post that would be of interest, send me an e-mail (see sidebar) and I'll check it out for possible inclusion in a future round-up.
