Via Matt Staggs linkee-poo, and then through Charlene Teglia, (was going to link directly to the articles, but I think good internet etiquette dictates I should stop the link-through here) some very excellent writer advice on "Story Rules", "The Six Biggest Mistakes Even Bestselling Authors Make" (with an extra 4 bonus mistakes), "13 Things to Do When You Run Out of Plot".
All of them worth reading.
Also, while you're at it, Matt Staggs has a video about How to Write the Great American Novel. Apparently it involves atlases, stretching, and writing naked (or in cowboy hat and chaps). Who knew? Giggled myself silly I did. Especially the look of the video (which has the classic School Movie over played, about to snap, marks in it).
(Really, you should all be checking out Matt's blog, not only are there octopi, he usually has many very good links. Too many in fact. Dude, like don't you have a real job?)

LOL!
Yeah - I got two of them!
A day job AND my own business which I largely run at night.
I'm just really, really dedicated - and my wife is really, really patient!
Thanks for the link!
Hey Matt, no worries, those were good links and the video was hilarious. My wife is also very patient with me. She's even stopped rolling her eyes when I say, "look at this, it's so cool."
Very funny. I'll check out the website.
Todd, the video is definitely worth the bandwidth.
