Several times in these forums, I've found references to an article from some professional's blog, and I usually find them very useful and worth following. But a lot of what I've seen is geared to YA.
So, do you have a blog you follow from an agent/publisher or published writer who talks about the industry and writing? Particularly in science fiction, fantasy or mainstream adult popular fiction? I'm open to recommendations.
Shameless self-promotion, but I'm a published author who has worked for a publisher who has a writing blog that is definitely not about YA writing (jessicadall.wordpress.com). I can see what else I can find through my writers networks if you like...most the time I don't subscribe to one blog, but just read articles that interest me.

I'll look you up.
I was just wondering how people find all these interesting articles they share now and then.
When it comes to agents, I check Query Shark pretty regularly - queryshark.blogspot.com. It's (obviously) about writing queries, but has some really helpful pieces of info relating to the industry in general. I also like reading Miss Snark - misssnark.blogspot.com.
And this blog isn't quite about the industry, but I absolutely worship it and read it without fail every week - wordplay-kmweiland.blogspot.com/.
Favorite author/agent/editor blog?
