Kristine Kathryn Rusch has posted many excellent articles on the business of writing, contracts, managing a career, planning projects, and just about every subject a serious writer should heed.  You should already be reading her blog at kriswrites.com.

Her most recent posting, on Responsibility, is one of the best, and relevant not only to writers but to everyone who has a job, family, bills, paperwork.
