		<title>Revision Hell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know what&#8217;s harder than writing a book?  Revising it.  Especially when the book was written a year ago during a single month.  Yes, I&#8217;m working on revising Novel One.  Novel Two is cooling its heels until the magic, sparkly, OMG-I-love-this-book-so-much phase wears off and I can look at it objectively.
I [...]]]></description>

		<title>NaNo 2009 Novel Snippet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This snippet is the first 250-ish words of my 2009 NaNo novel.
I opened one eye, only to squint angrily at the clock.  The red digits glowed brightly at me, oblivious to my foul mood—3:08 AM.  Ugh.  “Nicolae,” I said without turning my head, “go home.  It’s an ungodly hour.  I’ll talk to you in the [...]]]></description>

And now for the editing.  Oh, the editing&#8230;

		<title>Crossing 25k</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So tonight I finally crossed the halfway mark in NaNoWriMo, right on track for the month.  However, it took a valiant effort today because I was behind.  I didn&#8217;t write at all last Thursday because of work, Friday I didn&#8217;t quite hit my daily goal, and yesterday I only wrote a few words because I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Doctors Horrible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dustin and I dressed up for a NaNoWriMo midnight write-in as &#8220;The Doctors Horrible.&#8221;  Yes, we both dressed up as Dr. Horrible for Halloween.  I made the coats and we bought the rest at Harbor Freight.  We couldn&#8217;t find white rubber boots so we did without.
It turned out pretty good except that the vast majority [...]]]></description>

		<title>NaNoWriMo Starts Tomorrow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t signed up for NaNoWriMo yet, there&#8217;s still time.  You have all of today to procrastinate, but tomorrow is time to buckle down and get started.  So far I have three different story ideas calling to me, but they are just that&#8211;ideas.  No plot, no outlines, no character sketches, just three different ideas [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thirty Days of Genius &#8211; Recap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made it!  Thirty days, thirty pieces of writing created from a prompt of three words.  Some I liked, some I didn&#8217;t, but I made it through and that was the goal.  I ended up creating more words than I would need. Here are the unused words:
ocean, woman, man, hatred, trails, mountain, shoelaces, tree, summer, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thirty Days of Genius &#8211; Day Thirty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was time.  The pontoon bridge had been deployed at 0300.  Now all we had to do was cross it, drive deep into enemy territory, find the exact location of the camp, take out the bad guys, rescue the hostages, and drive back out, all without the enemy finding out our position or intent.  Piece [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thirty Days of Genius &#8211; Day Twenty-nine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I led the last dog back to its crate.  While I loved my job at the veterinary hospital today had been especially trying.  We had four emergency cases in critical condition come in this afternoon so I had been going non-stop for close to six hours.
My phone rang from somewhere in the depths of my [...]]]></description>
