Writing on LJ

The hotbed of thoughtful writing discussion these days is, of all places, LiveJournal.

Cath Emery on laziness and cultural symbols

Jane St. Clair on playfulness and bad sex in romantic relationships

Chelsea Polk on why writers hit a slump after their first publications

Oracne on maintaining tension

Elizabeth Bear on professionalism

… and Jennifer Jackson’s response

And then there’s the new For Writers collaborative blog, which picks up a lot of the LJ stuff, and Genre Neep, an LJ group with too many good links to list individually.
