There are plenty of articles and blogs on the web designed to teach aspects of writing. An article in today's Vancouver Sun alerted me to some videos on YouTube that also teach the craft of writing. Rather than a written essay or list of points the videos are closer to the mentoring paradigm than the instruction manual format.
So her's the skinny:

Source: Scottish Book Trust
Name: Creative Writing Masterclass (5 episodes)
Time: about ten minutes each
There are lots of other writing videos on YouTube which you can find in the Related Videos section when you access the one(s) mentioned above.
Warning - The author/presenter speaks with a Scottish accent, but it is literate Edinburgh, not Gorbals Glasgow so it is understandable to most English speakers.
