Time is a bit precious this weekend and I'm busy discovering how much I don't know. I've long suspected my ignorance, but am discovering just now the full breadth of it. Anyways, in the spirit of good sportsmanship I'll refer you to the PLoS Blogs Network, which offers "Diverse Views on Science and Medicine". Well, from what I've seen not exactly but there are a wide variety of well informed opinions and good writing. Enjoy. I'll catch up Monday with a vengeance, I promise....

This is good, and just in time for the New Year. Myself, I've resolved to write more, that's a daily thing, and there are some gems of inspiration here - writerly advice from writers to writers.
"Though our publishers will tell you that they are ever seeking “original” writers, nothing could be farther from the truth. What they want is more of the same, only thinly disguised. They most certainly do not want another Faulkner, another Melville, another Thoreau, another Whitman. What the public wants, no one knows. Not even the publishers."
