		<description><![CDATA[So amidst all the quietude of another round of edits, prepping for a Novel Retreat, the kids&#8217; on break while Daddy&#8217;s away and the usual murmur (read: chaos) of everyday existence, I&#8217;ve been pretty hush-hush, knowing that I should be typing on edits and Book Two rather than chatting here on the blog. BUT all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There must be something in the air, like the coming of spring. I&#8217;m evidently not the only person to have gone spelunking into my old &#8220;trunk novels&#8221; to see what may be worth salvaging (if anything) or engage in the nostalgia of revisiting old fictitious friends. And while I remembered the stories fondly, I found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maggie Stiefvater wrote an incredible post about the &#8220;Dissection of Revision,&#8221; outlining part of the journey from rough WIP to finished page. It garnered so much online support, that she thought to share the love by contacting a bunch of other authors and inviting them to dissect their own writing in similar fashion, and since [...]]]></description>

I exchanged emails with two bestselling, award-winning authors on projects and invitations to Pay It Forward. And today, I am getting ready to go to a writer&#8217;s retreat with two of my old critique partners [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another thing I&#8217;ve promised to do for myself this year is to go experience more art. Beyond classical Monet, Renoir &#038; Seurat, I like art that twists your head to the left, forcing reconsideration of reality and the automatic &#8220;Ooo! What?&#8221; That includes anything from Neil Gaiman&#8217;s writing to movies like Inception or The Game [...]]]></description>

Instead, I like to make Big Life Goals and then take the necessary steps to make those dreams happen. Warning: this is not an easy process. It&#8217;s so much easier to let [...]]]></description>
