dit: I’ve bumped this article to the top and stickied it there for the time being. I’m really very interested in finding out about all the SF&F and non-SF&F writers and bloggers out there. So, everyone who visits, please add your vote to the poll at the right and leave a comment here.

Exercise of the Mind
Writing is strenuous work. You wouldn’t think it would be just to look at it. But it takes effort and discipline and energy. I often leave a lengthy session of writing feeling fatigued, both

One thing that consistently plagues me when I hit [...]
