Guardian "How to Write" Series

I just stumbled across an interesting series of articles in the Guardian about how to approach various types of writing. Some might be obvious to professional writers, and yet there is gold to be mined. For example, Catherine Tate, a funny and witty performer and writer in London, mentions a rule of three for jokes: if they don't work on three different audiences, then the problem is the joke, not the audience. There are articles on how to get a screenplay into the hands of a Hollywood producer and how to get a play read. There are sections on dialog, visual storytelling (important in multimedia work), character, honing a joke, developing and editing - quite a bit and all from people accomplished in the specific area. It looks as though they're at the beginning of a seven-part series as well, so enjoy.
