		<title>Being a Reader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard it a thousand times in different articles and interviews with Authors I admire, if you want to write you have to steep yourself in the written word. I&#8217;ve taken these words very much to heart and I read, all the time. In fact it&#8217;s a joke amongst friends and family that it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Internet Black Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love to day dream about what my life would be like if I could write full time. I have enough of a Type-A personality that I like to think about how I would structure my day &#8211; still waking up early (as I am a morning person) answering email and tweets over breakfast and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where do Ideas Come From?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s always interesting to me that whenever I am sitting in the audience of a book panel, or listening to a podcast, someone inevitably gets up and asks the author &#8211; &#8220;where do you get your ideas?&#8221; This is always fascinating to me. Neil Gaiman once answered that question with this gem: &#8220;You get ideas [...]]]></description>

		<title>Outlines have I abandoned</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not an outliner, to be fair &#8211; I TRY to outline, but instead my outlines hit a wall and explode. I&#8217;ve always been this way, in fact in college I used to write the paper first so that I would have an outline to turn in! (Completely backwards I know.)  I&#8217;ve always considered [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Solitariness of Writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a confession &#8211; I never really saw the point in involving anyone else in my writing process, I just didn&#8217;t get it. I was happy to sit down and work in a world of my own imagining. I read a good deal from published authors and found just enough authors that didn&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where Journal Meets Type-A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my journal, it&#8217;s in my purse or on my person, pretty much at all times. (At San Diego Comic Con, I don&#8217;t carry a purse, but it&#8217;s in my backpack.) I don&#8217;t think I journal the way &#8220;normal people&#8221; do &#8211; it&#8217;s not a diary, it&#8217;s a dream receptacle. No really, it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Beginning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And thus began my tumultuous relationship with blogging, again&#8230; See friends, here&#8217;s the problem &#8211; I keep starting these things and talking about all the wrong things and losing steam and everything falls to the wayside.  Here&#8217;s the problem &#8211; I love to cook, but I&#8217;m not enough of a foodie to run a recipe [...]]]></description>
