Lots of great writing links around the 'net today. First off, is a great essay about those evil conspiracy theories that abound in the writing world. http://sallyquilfordblog.co.uk/2009/07/writing-conspiracy-theories.html A tip of the hat to Michael Bracken for this one.
This one is another look at the genre rules and cliches by JD Rhodes http://www.murderati.com/blog/2009/7/8/nothing-new-under-the-sun.html
Rob Lopresti over at Criminal Brief has an interesting essay on getting your story started. http://criminalbrief.com/?p=7550
And this one just because I found the topic interesting. While it is about gay characters in horror, it also made me think about how we tend to slip characters into easily recognizable slots. http://www.fearzone.com/blog/monster-state
And the Alzheimer Society of Canada has incorporated a Creative Space at their web site for short stories and poetry about Alzheimers. http://www.alzheimer.ca/english/creativespace/writingroom-intro.htm
