Again, because I'm a new writer (still have the new writer smell!), I'm always keyed to essays abotu being a new writer. Who doesn't like reading about themselves?
So here's Jay Lake's take on it.
And here's Richard Park's take on it. Ogre-san also talks a little about one hit wonders, which it's good to see that perspective.

I thought it was simply that we writers tend to make quite free with our opinions.
Camille, (feigns surprise) writers like sharing opinions.
Well, yeah. I just think it's so cool that this industry tends to be fairly open (at least on the writers part of the business) and has a culture of sharing experiences.
As a former Art School person, I felt the best results were achieved when everybody shared their ideas, energy, and skills and talents. When we started to get jealous, envious, and competitive the work suffered. (there's a somewhat long post there about the different values in different art schools and my opinions of them, including of their graduates that I've worked with and/or hired)
