As I mentioned in my last post, there are some fantastic writer blogs out there. I'm a bit of a research junkie so I can spend hours reading through them all and I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface. I realize that not everyone has the desire or time to spend hours every week reading through writer blogs so I came up with Writer Round-Up.
Every Friday I'm going to post the links to my absolute favorite writing posts (or articles) for that week. If you have a favorite writer/editor/agent/whatever blog/website that you'd like to share, please do! I'm sure I'm missing out on some doozies.
So, without further ado, here are my favorites for the week:
Little Darlings & Why They Must Die...for Real by Kristen Lamb (Get used to seeing her posts on Writer Round-Up!)
Anatomy of Conflict by Kristen Lamb (see?)
What Ju-Jitsu Can Teach Us About Writing by Kristen Lamb (This one would be helpful to read on a regular basis.)
Interiority vs. Telling by Mary Kole
Why It's Good For Writers to Love Then Hate Their Books by Jody Hedlund
Feel free to share any awesome posts or articles on writing that you come across!

I bookmarked Kristen and read her quite a bit. It's an easy read with good info. Smart to offer the free transcript read to commenters as well. I think what struck me the most--I wasn't intimidated reading her stuff. It wasn't all "Oh, she writes so much better than I do, I can see why she has so many follwers."
She seems to be struggling like the rest of us, while having the advantage of a few more contacts.
I don't know how much she's struggling. She's been published, has worked as an editor, presents at writers conferences, and runs a writer workshop (wish I lived close enough to go). She's accessible though and presents herself as "one of us" even if she's ahead of the game compared to a lot of the writers that read her blog.
She is just chalk full of great info. And she knows how to present the info in an entertaining manner. Like you said, her blog is an easy read.
