An article from The Guardian that I found quite interesting, Ten Rules for Writing Fiction, it's The Guardian's 'survey of established authors' tips for successful authorship'. I know I'm guilty of using 'then' far too often, I have to break myself of that habit.
And for interest's sake, Michael Moorcock talks about The Lester Dent Pulp Paper Master Fiction Plot, which also makes for an interesting read.
