Links a plenty - writing advice on the web

There's an awful lot of advice online for the aspiring, intermediate or even expert writer, and it's sometimes difficult to keep up. As it's been a while since I've done a "links" post, I've decided to compile a list of some of the latest blog posts I've come across to do with writing (and yes, I did write the Fuel Your Writing post, before you say anything). As a further note, I highly recommend all of these blogs for their insightful and often just plain interesting articles.

This is a great compilation of links. I've heard the refrain that because advice can be contradictory, none of it is worth listening to. That's wrong headed, just as bad as saying that because some people do nothing but read advice without trying to implement it, therefore reading advice is counterproductive.

Read, learn, practice.
