A couple of days ago, I came across a collection of blog posts thing that some, if not most, aspiring fantasy writers might find useful and should at least try to read. It is an a series of long rants, written by some annoying nerd who apparently has read a lot of crap (beats me why anyone would willingly subject himself to that) and has a lots of strongly worded opinions about world building, believable characters, plots and that sort of thing. He makes a lot of points, with some of them being just as misguided as the ones he rages against, but most are very good and relevant, especially, if you don't have a habit of reading a lot of crap from cover to cover.
I will confess that I occasionally try to write something or other myself and usually end up destroying it in disgust, sometimes even on the next day, so I did find this an interesting, if annoying read.
Oh, here's the link.
