		<title>Dear Lucky Agent Contest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chuck Sambuchino from Guide to Literary Agents is hosting the third &#34;Dear Lucky Agent&#34; Contest.
Here is the gist of it:

This will be a recurring online contest with agent judges and super-cool prizes. Here&#39;s the deal: With every contest, the details are essentially the same, but the niche itself changes&#8212;meaning each contest is focused around a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arriba, Arriba! Andale!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, one of my critique partners asked the question "How fast do you write?"

She was new with us at the time, but the post raised some interesting questions. (And answers.)]]></description>

		<title>How are we feeling today?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was originally going to blog about revisions, and things like that.
Until I tripped across an article by Roger Ebert, titled "Nil by Mouth" 
I recommend reading it, not only for the content, but for his use of words and emotion. (Although the content is incredibly moving and evocative. I loved every word.)

		<title>Evil Overlord Rules</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we write, we all know our protagonists really, really well. We know what makes them tick, we know why they do what they do, we know how to redeem them and what will hurt them the most.
We know their black moments. We know why they are the way they are.
And that's great. It makes the character three dimensional, makes the reader love them, be involved in the story.

Many of us aren't as involved with our antagonists.]]></description>

		<title>New Writing Aid uploaded</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Querytracker posted a great article on how to plot, so I condensed the points down, laid out the sheet ready for printing... and there you have it.
9 Steps for Plotting Fiction -- all ready for you to print.

However, full credit needs to go to Cynthia Jaynes Omololu, which is where Suzette Saxton got the idea for it.]]></description>

		<title>Love hurts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I grew up, Valentines Day was about secret admirers, not about flowers and chocolates.
It was about sneaking an unsigned message to someone you fancied, someone you wanted, but who didn't notice you. It was about letting them know someone is in love with them, without telling them who. It was up to the object of your desires and fantasies guessing it was you, and declare they felt the same about you. (Or not.)]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s that over there?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Distractions are the bane of my life. 
Not just my writing life, but in general. It's worse when I write, though.
Whether it's surfing the net, or playing an online game (Bad me!), a good movie on TV, or a book I'm dying to read -- it's too easy to be distracted.
I am not the only one who has a problem staying focused, it's a common affliction for those of us with the attention span of an average goldfish.]]></description>
