I think when writing my first novel, I must have googled "How to write a fantasy novel". As it turns out I had a lot to learn. Not just about syntax and plot formation, but in world building and the paradigm of fantasy writing. So before each writing session, I would read a few posts from Philip Athans's supplementary blog until I read every one of his posts. For some reason, I never brought myself to spend $10 on a used copy of this paper back.
It's a good read, especially if you have any interest in writing these specific genres. It gave me a lot of authors to put in my "to read" list and a lot of films to my "to watch" list. Also, the blog is regularly updated and still holds up. Check it out!
