Nancy Jane Moore has some interesting thoughts on the grim worlds that writers seem to be creating more of these days. http://blog.bookviewcafe.com/2011/05/26/is-the-real-truth-always-grim/
While it's not often stated, there are certain expectations of what women writers should be writing, both in the minds of editors and readers. I love Stina Leicht's take on the subject. http://aidanmoher.com/blog/2011/05/articles/guest-post-stina-leicht-on-writing-urban-fantasy-without-vampires-detectives-and-tramp-stamped-chicks
I stopped by BookLife Now this morning and discovered an excellent interview with Western writer Cotton Smith. http://booklifenow.com/2011/05/to-never-give-up-cotton-smith-on-writing-the-west/
There's also a look at the Western anthology, "A Fistful of Legends" http://booklifenow.com/2011/04/in-constant-conflict-a-fistful-of-legends
BookLife has 50 entries in their "Writing the West" series which you can find at this link http://booklifenow.com/category/writing-the-west/ You'll find interviews with Jory Sherman, Mike Blakely, and Robert J. Randisi, just to name a few.
