So for the past couple of months I was subscribed to fantasy author Holly Lisle's How to Think Sideways site. I hadn't bought anything prior to unsubbing, but got periodical e-mails and downloaded a free lesson. I found her content often common-sense and semi-helpful if not groundbreaking. A lot of the time they were things I knew already, but helped me focus my thoughts and get thinking about different parts of the craft.

Lisle's recent (January 10) e-mail about knowing oneself as a writer was much the same, helpful-ish if not consciousness-altering. In that e-mail she linked a quiz she did on Saving the World Through Typing.

And then this happened.
