		<description><![CDATA[ There&#8217;s a lot of talk in the writing/publishing world about contracts. Author/Agent contracts, publisher&#8217;s contracts, advances, foreign rights, non-exclusivity clauses. But those aren&#8217;t actually the kind of contracts I wanted to talk about today. I want to talk about the most basic contract of all in the writing business&#8211;and it&#8217;s not one you sign in [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been watching the show since it first started airing&#8211;it was a show about an author! Starring Nathan Fillion, whom I seriously would watch in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People often ask me for recommendations on resources for learning to write, and I&#8217;m happy to give them. There are some great guidebooks out there&#8211;any of our own Donald Maass&#8217;s books being some of the best, in my opinion. But I have a confession: I think the advice that books on writing give is very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I truly believe that this is a great time to be a writer. There&#8217;s so much concern, it seems to me, about the state of publishing&#8211;bookstores closing or stocking fewer and fewer books, publishing houses not accepting new submissions, or not supporting the authors they&#8217;ve already signed, or offering far lower advances than they once [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month I blogged about my first year of participating in NaNoWriMo. (And in the end, I did make my 50,000 words&#8211;woo-hoo!) So this month I thought I would talk about what I think is a pretty common after-effect of NaNoWriMo: burnout. Now, if you participate in NaNo and manage to churn out 50,000 words [...]]]></description>

(I figured that since my youngest just turned 2, I finally had a prayer of achieving the target 1667 words per day). Now, let me say first of all that I am a NaNo &#8216;rebel&#8217;&#8211;if you go to the NaNoWriMo website you&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>
