		<title>ArmadilloCon Wrap-up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in my previous post, this past weekend was ArmadilloCon here in Austin.  After three days of hanging out with published authors, not-yet-published authors, and fans, I can definitely say this:  These are my people and my people are weird.  Falling into both the software engineering and writing worlds myself, I am somewhat [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally, the Beginning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After several stops and starts, rewrites and revisions, I think I&#8217;ve finally hit on the true beginning of my book.  Here it is, in all of its rough draft glory: I ducked under the police tape, Isa right behind me.  The moon provided enough light to barely see the empty yard stretching to the house.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Terrified + Excited = Terricited?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the end of the month, I&#8217;m attending a writers&#8217; workshop at ArmadilloCon with Whitney.  I submitted a short story that barely squeaked under the 5,000 word limit.  It was based on Day Thirteen of my Days of Genius.  Thirteen is my lucky number.  I think it helped me out. When I emailed my submission, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Add Your Blog to Google Buzz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve added the rel=&#8221;me&#8221; links back to my Google profile, which is supposed to link up my Google account and my blog, allowing me to add it to my connected sites in Google Buzz.  Unfortunately, it seems like I&#8217;ve either done it wrong or it just takes forever.  A quick search turned up another, easier [...]]]></description>

		<title>Random Snippet &#8211; Magic Investigation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I stood in the doorway, hesitant to enter.  There was blood smeared across the floor, leaving a wet, red trail into the next room.  I was called in to find the body.  The snarky half of my mind wondered if they had followed the bloody trail, but I  prevented the sentiment from leaving my mouth.

		<title>NaNo Novel Editing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The novel I&#8217;m currently struggling to edit is from my first year of NaNoWriMo.  I&#8217;ve found out the hard way that writing for NaNo and writing for possible publication are two completely different beasts, at least for me. During NaNo, a 2,500 word scene in which my main character meets with a lawyer seemed like [...]]]></description>

		<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 have three main [...]]]></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 [...]]]></description>
