		<title>Distractions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Half done with the novel edits, and it&#8217;s clear to me that I&#8217;m holding back when I&#8217;m writing.  This is showing up in two ways, which are really one way when you look at it.
First, there isn&#8217;t nearly enough setting and description in the novel.  I&#8217;m not fully immersed in the vision of [...]]]></description>

		<title>My brain, she is dead&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been the queen of diligence today &#8211; mostly planning the next novel (working title: Darcy and Olivia #1) because that&#8217;s way more fun than finishing the edits on The Waste.  I did take another stab at the query letter for The Waste, but it still isn&#8217;t right.  It&#8217;s getting there, and as it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the world&#8217;s fastest drive-by posting to talk about what I&#8217;m doing this week.
I&#8217;m working on my nephew&#8217;s wedding quilt (pretty sure he doesn&#8217;t read my blog)

Writing, of course.  It&#8217;s the novel that just won&#8217;t end&#8230;
I&#8217;m working through a class in  Python Programming to teach Ben in the Fall
Reading and trying to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Status of the Novel, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I have looked at this novel, scene by scene, from every possible direction and I&#8217;m still not done!
This is my course novel for How To Revise Your Novel with Holly Lisle.  I love this class, but it&#8217;s not a simple walk in the park.  
The good news is that I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Status of the Novel, part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working on my novel, currently titled The Waste, and it&#8217;s eating my brain.

Although it&#8217;s the best novel I&#8217;ve ever written, it sucks on an almost infinite level and so I&#8217;m very thoroughly going through it to see what is good, salvageable, re-writable and just plain old drek.

This week I am going through each scene, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recommended Listening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m very far behind in my Escape Pod listening but I&#8217;ve recently listened to Greg van Eekhout&#8217;s story &#8220;Will You be an Astronaut&#8221; and I loved it.  
 Will You be an Astronaut
It starts off rather innocently and gets dark and creepy.  By the end of the story you completely understand why [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did you ever&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Start a book and realize it was not very good, but not want to put it down anyway?  I’m there right now.  I’m listening to a book at http://www.podiobooks.com (no, I’m not saying which one)  and it’s been very mediocre all along but last night there was a sex scene that was [...]]]></description>

Enjoy!

		<title>Another day, another chapter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My plow guy has a commendable work ethic for an 18-year-old.  He was here at 2:45 this morning, shoveling us out.  One of the reasons we hired him was because he was about to become an Eagle Scout and we thought that kind of character development would show in his work.
Unfortunately, he woke [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slogging on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[40 more pages read through between last night and this morning.  I am taking notes in hot pink pen, to cheer me up and I&#8217;m on my second pen.  That&#8217;s a lot of notes.
I&#8217;d like to be done with this tomorrow night, but I think that&#8217;s a bit over-enthusiastic as I still have [...]]]></description>
