		<description><![CDATA[Writing a synopsis, for me, is harder than writing a novel. And I know I’m not alone in that sentiment. Talking to a writer in the midst of chipping a novel down to a page or two is much like talking to a marathon runner who still has to walk to her car. She’s so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What’s with these kids these days? Where’s the pride, the attention to detail? Lady Gaga is the most recent offender, but the trend is bigger than her. Kirsten Stewart, Rihanna, even Pink (who is old enough to know better), to name a few, are committing this affront to (my) standards. What’s with the wingless bird? [...]]]></description>

The fact that I typed “make the elevator come” but then thought that sounded dirty and technologically unlikely so changed it to “arrive.” Dialing my remote and putting it to my ear before realizing my remote and the person I was trying to [...]]]></description>

I did, however, have a lot of opinions about other people’s parenting. So when I got pregnant, I knew all the things I wasn’t going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nevada is 87 percent public lands. That means the federal government owns the deed on most of my state. And since they could, they leased big chunks of it to anyone who wanted to dig it up for about 140 bucks. They called these chunks mining claims, and they still go for less than an [...]]]></description>

Hell, we didn’t even realize there was something wrong with that until we were talking to a nutritionist about a completely unrelated issue. We got him into the county’s early intervention program when he turned 3 (a wonderful wonderful program). Under the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last few(ish) years, I’ve taken two very different writing workshops that absolutely changed how I saw my writing. Strangely enough, both were on the Oregon Coast. (Maybe great teachers are just drawn to that end of the country?) But on the surface, the two workshops shared little else in common. One workshop was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Character emotion is a tricky thing. Not enough and readers won’t invest; too much and you lose realism. I gave a tendency toward the former – emotionally distant characters that create emotionally distant readers (especially in long works). It’s something I’ve been looking at – been looking at for a few years now, actually. My [...]]]></description>

Rob Sabo commented on my last post: “Perspective: The first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times. I think I read somewhere that Jo Rowling is the first billionaire author.” This got me to thinking. I love stories [...]]]></description>
