For this last year, I've been linking to Laura Anne Gilman's excellent series on Book View Cafe, Practical 
Meerkat's Useful Info for Writers. These were not "how to write" blogs, but invaluable perspectives on publishing -- and how it's changing! -- careers, professional relationships, care of the writerly ego... in other words, what we all need to know to survive and perhaps flourish. Now she's complied them into an ebook, available from Book View Cafe in the usual multi-formats, for only $2.99.
Practical Meerkat’s 52 Bits of Useful Info for Young (and Old) Writers
(Writing Advice)
The skinny: Writing is a craft. Publishing is a business. Today's world requires you to understand both.
*Knowing When Not to Complain (and how to do it)
*Bar Schmoozing with the Big Dogs (even if you don't drink)
*Dealing with a Difficult Editor/Agent... and much, much more!
Laura Anne Gilman has been an editor since 1990, including 7 years heading the Roc SF imprint for Penguin. As a writer, she has twenty-five novels and forty+ stories to her name. A freelancer since 2003, she hasn’t starved yet. She figures all this gives her the ability to talk a bit about the industry.
