Lots of good advice for writers floating about the internet:
Sally Apokedak: Don’t Cheat The Reader (by leaving out emotional scenes)
Terence Blacker: How to know you’re really an author
Dean Wesley Smith: Devaluing your work by pricing it too low
Steve Weddle: The only loyalty required between publisher and writer is that laid out in a contract
If you only read one of these, I highly recommend Link #3, the Dean Wesley Smith piece on devaluing your work by pricing it too low. This should be required reading for anyone considering self-publishing anything, even those love letters to your pet alligator or collection of naughty haiku.
