		<description><![CDATA[The new novel is going quite well, so naturally I took a couple of weeks off to write a short story. This makes more sense than it would at first seem.
When doing some rather detailed world building, i find it helpful to do some beta testing of that world. Work out the kinks and maybe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What  do you do when the story goes off the rails like, as John Rogers put it, a burning train full of  pantless clowns?
You bury the dead and walk away, preferably in slow motion  while &#8221;Everyone&#8221; by Van Morrison plays on the soundtrack.
So,  that&#8217;s basically what I&#8217;ve been doing these last few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over at io9, Charlie Jane Anders has a great post on the art of the Infodump. As you know, Bob, the infodump is one of those tools writers, especially those of us int he speculative field,[1] use to build worlds and describe all the crazy, outrageous and weird concepts we write about.
Ironically, there&#8217;s not a [...]]]></description>

I took a half an hour break for lunch but otherwise wrote for an entire day. This was exhilarating in itself, to see that I was capable [...]]]></description>

Up until then, I had only a vague sort of general idea what would happen in the end. This was problematic for a variety of reasons. The most obvious [...]]]></description>

Chapter 9 was giving me some trouble. We&#8217;re already about 8 pages into the story. We&#8217;ve met two of our main characters and established a premise and shown a bit of the world. Time to get into the guts of the story and have some fun. But I still [...]]]></description>

Wait. Let&#8217;s back up a sec, so I can make sure we&#8217;re all on the same page story mechanics-wise.
When writing (or just telling) a story, it&#8217;s important to now what the nature of the conflict at the heart of that story is about. Some of you may [...]]]></description>

Wait, back up for a second. For the curious, here&#8217;s a picture of my workspace, from the Ceiling Cat perspective.
This is where I do most, but not all, of my writing. The desk is not always this organized but I&#8217;m working [...]]]></description>

This was so far back in the danky, drippy mists of time, even before the great Nanowrimo fiasco.[1] So, [...]]]></description>
