		<title>Been awhile&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Been so crazy busy at work and dealing with my father&#8217;s business&#8230;and the electronic versions of my stories&#8230;well, I haven&#8217;t had any time to write anything. Also, at the moment, I&#8217;m questioning my abilities as a short story writer. So, I&#8217;m hoping to switch gears and write a new novel this month. Working title is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Struggling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trying to find my focus. I have been very distracted since the Oregon workshop, working on getting some of my short fiction available electronically. This process is unfortunately a lot of work. I&#8217;ve managed to get 11 stories available on Smashwords and Amazon. And I admit, it&#8217;s been a pleasant distraction from writing which isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Too much going on&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so way too much stuff going on, none of which is writing. But I&#8217;m experimenting with online fiction and have just posted my first short story to Smashwords. It was one published a number of years ago, so it was a good choice for this format.]]></description>

		<title>Back from Oregon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got back Monday night, but have been too swamped with stuff to post. More Life Rolls craziness. Still dealing with my father&#8217;s business and the will stuff (being the executor) as well as my brother&#8217;s impending divorce and the job unrest. Things are changing too quickly to keep up with unfortunately. Started a new story, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finished!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was able to cut about 350 words from the story. Final title is Raven Among Angels. Still feeling uncomfortable with this story, but maybe that&#8217;s good. Will get it sent out tomorrow, I hope.]]></description>

		<title>Finally done!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just now finished this one. This is the longest story I&#8217;ve written since 2003. Retitled for the moment to Confessor for the Dead. Weirdest story I&#8217;ve written in a while. Not even sure what to say about this one. At 8565 words, that&#8217;s gonna be a tough submission. Had no clue when I started this [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;and going and going&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, had no idea I&#8217;d be writing a story this long. I&#8217;m at 6900 words and going into the last scene. Where Bliss puts it all together and knows what she has to do. Sometimes this writing thing is crazy. Hope it doesn&#8217;t go much past 7500 words. We&#8217;ll see. I will take it to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still going&#8230;and going</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The story&#8217;s at 6000 words and still has another scene or two to go. It will probably run up against the edge of 7K. Been a while since I&#8217;ve written anything this long. And yeah, I still feel really uncomfortable with it. Not sure why. It&#8217;s nothing really ground-breaking in content or structure. Just feels [...]]]></description>

		<title>Act 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got through most of the second act and I&#8217;m working on the transition into the final act of the story. Had to rework the opening structure a bit and get some better focus. Think I&#8217;ve got most of that worked out and was able to write more words. The story is over 4K now. I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still moving forward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, put down another 1200 words tonight. The story&#8217;s at 3200 words and counting. It&#8217;s into its second act. I see the ending coming and I feel the excitement trickling in as I get closer to it. I hope it&#8217;s gonna be as cool as I see it in my head. I still feel that [...]]]></description>
