I read a LOT Of sci-fi/fantasy growing up, and those tips for writing it are right on. On the other hand, good writing is good writing--most books you see in a bookstore are mediocre, regardless of genre. I could write a similar guide for writing pulp mystery fiction or thrillers too. Back on the fantasy topic: Did anyone else read Ursula K. LeGuin growing up? I remember enjoying the Earthsea Trilogy when I was younger. Also C.S. Lewis' books about Narnia.
