An old, but still fabulous, post at Elizabeth Bear's blog: http://matociquala.livejournal.com/486828.html.
The topic is "sentence-level craft": how to write at the micro level. Her suggestion of thinking of every single sentence as a fractal of the scene is gold; every sentence needs the same tension and focus and drive as the scene itself.
I must remember this!
