		<description><![CDATA[Question of the day: My debut novel did okay, not great, and now my publisher is being slightly less than enthusiastic about my follow-up. They aren&#8217;t excited about the book I&#8217;m working on, even though I love it, and have encouraged me to try to write something different. I&#8217;m torn &#8211; on one hand, I [...]]]></description>

And for the life of me, I could NOT come up with something to discuss. That tends to happen when I fully immerse [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I know that it’s craft month here at WU, and thus, I’m going to discuss craft, but part of me shudders at the thought of opining on the subject because, well, I’ll be honest, four books into this shindig, and I’m still not sure that I’m one to be giving advice on craft! Why? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was chatting with a friend recently who was lamenting that she felt like her agent wasn&#8217;t the right fit for her, that she felt like she (my writer friend) was manning her ship on her own, and that she really needed guidance when her agent wasn&#8217;t offering any. She asked me if her solitary [...]]]></description>

I’m pretty sure this was because I’d just tweeted (are you not on Twitter yet? For shame! Go join today!), that I’m nearing the completion [...]]]></description>

Distraction? Yes, distraction. The one thing that I haven’t yet done today? Write. Despite the fact that I have a 1k (minimum) self-imposed word count per [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s been major progress since my last post here at Writer Unboxed: my galleys &#8211; aka, ARCs, which are uncorrected proofs of the book (essentially paperbacks with some errors in them) are out into the [...]]]></description>

Voice is, in my opinion, everything. As my fellow novelist friend, Laura Dave, once said to me, “Voice is the reason people [...]]]></description>
