Writing Fiction: A Weblog by Crawford Kilian

As you browse around you come accross the most remarkable little nuggets.

Crawford's weblog does what it says on the tin - its about writing fiction - what I think is unique about it is its pithhyness and flintyness. It is sharp, harsh, brittle and gets points across very quickly, memorably and usably.

A writer who really is writing abot writing for other writers.
