Two cool websites concerning writing: one, the Writer’s Diet, which analyzes your writing for flabbiness and makes suggestions for getting it fit & trim. I’m not surprised my writing is already Fit & Trim, but I write an awful lot. Still, I found the in-depth analysis quite useful, actually.
Still, I don’t write every day. That’s a guilty confession, because I should. I shouldn’t say that: I do write something every day – a blog entry, a journal entry, a long(ish) email, but I don’t work on my writing every day. There’s no way I will do NaNoWritMo, but it’s a cool idea if you’re one of those people who’s always wanted to write a novel but never has.
Some of us have written a few, and the rule is that you never get your first one published.

Or indeed should.
I guess that’s the drawback to becoming famous: someone always comes along and publishes all your early rubbish after you’re dead.
