		<title>Lent 2010: Week 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, crap.  
It turns out that I&#8217;m much better suited to giving something up than adding something in.  I can handle the &#8220;withdrawal&#8221; issues of giving up chocolate or internet, or soda (not caffeine mind you, with true withdrawal issues) much easier than forcing myself to spend 30 minutes each day writing.

		<title>Lenten Promise 2010: Week 1 Judgement Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t my fault,&#8221;  I&#8217;d say to St. Peter if he called me on how well I did this first week.  
&#8220;I was in Vegas for the first few days. I tried, but there was so much&#8211;&#8221;
&#8220;Sin?&#8221; he&#8217;d ask with one eyebrow arched as he jotted a note down with his quill on [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Lenten Promise: 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are lots of things I could go without for a while.  A few weeks ago I realized that I&#8217;d let the Internet take hold of me and considered another 40 day purge.  This produced a surprising reaction in a few friends who reminded me that at the end of it I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Having a &#8220;Phoenix&#8221; Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;m in a foul mood because I&#8217;m filled the the sense that something needs to drastically change. And I hate change, so I try to dig in my heels to avoid it until there&#8217;s so much &#8220;stuff&#8221; in the way (mentally and physically) that a pre-change outburst is immanent. 
Fine. Call it a temper-tantrum. [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Sleep, Perchance to Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I think blogging about your dreams is one of the most narcissistic of past times, I had a dream a few weeks ago that just refuses to let go of me.  In the hopes of &#8220;taming&#8221; it by talking about it, I&#8217;m going to share it with you.  It&#8217;s also possible this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nanowrimo 2009: Ain&#8217;t Happening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A funny thing happened on the way to my 2009 Nanonovel: Life.  Literally.
I&#8217;m a little bit pregnant, and unfortunately for nanowrimo, it&#8217;s the stage of pregnancy where I&#8217;m at my most exhausted and my most unmotivated. To say nothing of the 24/7 nausea that prevents me from doing much of anything except willing it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nanowrimo 2009: The Day Before</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NaNoWriMo Eve is upon me and I find myself in a rather curious predicament.  I&#8217;ve been spending the last couple of weeks talking up the novel-writing extravaganza on twitter, podcasts (okay, just the one), and via a prep article on murmur.  There is no question in my mind that anyone who thinks it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Murmurings Updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I updated the Murmurings tab on the site to include everything I&#8217;ve done on murmur.com since mid-August.  
My favorites include a Gossip Girl recap where I mixed things up a bit and presented it like a transcript of what&#8217;s really going on.  The format is a lot of fun to do, and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Literary Limbo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m stuck.
This happens every so often.  I start craving a specific type of story and I can&#8217;t let it go.  If whatever I&#8217;m currently reading doesn&#8217;t fit the bill, I can&#8217;t focus on it.  I&#8217;ve started three books in the last few days, questing for the &#8220;right&#8221; combination of voice, plot, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Not to Podcast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This crazy thing happened a few weeks ago on murmur: I was invited to partake in the podcasting portion of the site.  Well, that&#8217;s not quite true.  Every couple of weeks one of the staff members sends an email to the rest of us and asks who might be interested in joining the [...]]]></description>
