Just a quick post to alert you to a new page in my rapidly-fattening Resources section, on the pros and cons of writing courses. Look over to the sidebar on the right (I'd put a link here, but TypePad's having a small wobble with its text editing tools...)
And a very happy first birthday to Help! I Need a Publisher, the one-and-only crabbit old bat Nicola Morgan's remarkable compendium of everything to help the aspiring writer. I'll post a link when I can, but meanwhile, look over to the right, again, where she's in the section called The Writing Life.
