		<description><![CDATA[I think this writing-about-writing thing is working. In that I have been guilted in to starting my writing. Or maybe the funk of last week has lifted. Either way, I&#8217;ve come to a decision: I&#8217;m going to write crap. That doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m purposely going to write badly (that happens all on its own, foks). [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If there&#8217;s one place my writing skill is weakest, it&#8217;s plotting. I&#8217;m pretty good at characterization and I&#8217;m great at dialogue, but the actual plots of my stories are often thin or full of holes or both. So I&#8217;m trying to correct that by reading books with great plots and by listening to Michael Stackpole&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like I said in my last post, I&#8217;m having a hard time finding the inspiration to write anything. I do have an idea that feels like it might go somewhere if I keep noodling it around. It&#8217;s a paranormal noir-ish detective series. Now, there are plenty of great works in the noir detective genre and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have decided that 2012 is my year to get serious about writing. I&#8217;m giving myself a weekly quota of 5,000 words. That&#8217;s nothing compared to my grueling 14,000/wk quota during November. Also, I&#8217;m just coming back from a two week vacation and work has yet to get crazy busy on me. I actually had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Her presence stretches back into my earliest years, peppering my memories with white hair and crumpled tissue paper skin. Now she sits, worn and feeble at our kitchen table, lost in memory. Sometimes she seems to be little more than a wraith, a ghost, talking out the bits and pieces of her life, repeating them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I thought up a neat twist to romance novels: replace the female lead with a male. I tried it out using one of Harlequinâ€™s online romance novels, Heavy Metal Honey. This one worked almost too well, since the female character is purposely butch. Oh, well.Anyway, here are the &#8220;rules&#8221; I&#8217;ve set up for myself: [...]]]></description>
