Thanks for linking to my article, Eight Facts About Writing That Surprise Young Novelists. You might also like the sequel article, the rather uncreatively-named Eight More Facts About Writing That Surprise Young Novelists: http://www.superheronation.com/2010/01/05/another-eight-facts-about-writing-that-surprise-young-novelists/ .
