Just in case you don't know -- Writing Excuses is a series of podcasts (audio recordings) by Mary Robinette Kowal, Brandon Sanderson, Howard Tayler, and Dan Wells on the topic of writing. 15 minutes long because you're in a hurry, and... well, try them, I think you'll like them.
Writing Excuses -- This is the font of wisdom... or something like that.
