While nothing earth shattering or transformational, I found a solid video by Taylor and Francis titled "How to Get Published." If you are new to scholarly publishing, this might be a nice introduction to the topic. At the very least, it can help you assess some of what you know, and what you may need to learn more about. Even for those of us who have been "in the game" for a while can benefit from going back to the beginning and considering our approach to the basics.
Of course, keep in mind that this is from a publisher's perspective; they may not be the best ones to help you deconstruct some of the mythology behind their practices.

Not at all related with your post, but I thought that you would find this podcast interesting - Les Back is back form his sabbatical and reflects on the value of a sabbatical to nurture imagination and learn new skills. He also talks about the value of routine. http://magiclantern.gold.ac.uk/podcasts/sociology/sonicpostcards/returningtomydesk.mp3
