Just thought of some more stuff that might be useful in the back room. I'd welcome a section on publishing - lists of publishers and what (and how) they accept, articles about strategies on how to get published, tips on getting work into print. Also, one thing that I've always found inspirational is reading about how other writers approach the business of writing - how they make time, what started them off, how they coped with the difficulties, what gives them confidence, who influenced them and why. Somehow, those personal experiences have always encouraged me more than the straightforward 'how to' articles. If I feel blocked, I know that reading something like that will help me through it better than any number of pieces entitled 'How to get through your block'.
