Kate Elliott has been posting installments of her "Advice for first-time novelists" on her LJ for a the last week or so, but having gotten to the end the full set is posted over on the DeepGenre group-blog. Another installment in the list of advice I wish I'd had when I was twenty-one and finished my first novel. A lot of insightful things in Elliott's six-part list that it took me years to learn.
