Those of you interested in a career as a professional writer would do well to keep an eye on the blog of my one-time partner, Dennis Palumbo. Dennis is a writer but he's also a therapist who specializes in the problems of creative people such as writers. He's smart and sane about a field which is not always either of those things. This blog post will give you a good introduction to the guy and then you can find your way around from there.
