		<title>12 Stories/12 Months &#8211; Story(ies) #8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is part of a project I&#8217;m working on with my dear friend Rozlyn Anderson &#8211; a series of paintings based on flash pieces about lesser-known deities. Because of this, I&#8217;m only posting the openings of these pieces. The second part will come next month. If this project ever gets shown anywhere, I may post [...]]]></description>

		<title>poem bump.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;m going to have an actual blog entry soon. I&#8217;m not sure. My brain is pretty fried right now. But I read a couple of poems at Seldom Seen Poets this past Wednesday that folks were asking about, so instead of just linking to old entries, I&#8217;ll post them here. (Also, if you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clarion Notebook: Critiques</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I wanted to leave writing about critiquing until the end. There are many things to keep in mind when you want to get your work critiqued but have never had it done before. First of all, every writer writes a crappy first draft. There is no way around this. Every writer. Even you. Keep [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clarion Notebook: Interviews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;ve talked a lot about characters, but they&#8217;re really important remember: characters are plot, so the more you know, the better. Here&#8217;s a basic set of criteria for writing a new character. You can add more if you&#8217;re feeling it, but it&#8217;s a good jumping-off point: Name: Age: Family: Want: Fear: Habitat: Significant [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clarion Notebook: Get Out Of The Box</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although all we critiqued at Clarion were regular narrative fiction stories (well, mostly, anyway), it wouldn&#8217;t hurt you to try writing in different other kinds of media. I didn&#8217;t start thinking about writing something other than short stories and novels until I was in college when I was talking to my adviser Bill McDonald about [...]]]></description>

		<title>12 Stories/12 Months: Story #7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll call this one &#8220;experimental,&#8221; only because the end is not like the beginning. I&#8217;ll just say I was trying to be poetic or something. It turned out okay. Writing this month was a challenge because of starting the new job, but I powered through. Or tried to, anyway. The next two months will be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clarion Notebook: Go Ahead, Make Your Funny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit that I love humorous writing, and I love being funny in real life, but I&#8217;m not a big fan of writing funny stories. I wrote a story at Clarion that tried to be funny, but I don&#8217;t feel like it executed well. It was a send-up of Vegas club culture and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clarion Notebook: Endings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every story has an ending. For some people that&#8217;s a difficult concept to grasp. Endings are hard. I usually try to envision what the end will look like, and sometimes it turns out, sometimes it doesn&#8217;t. When it doesn&#8217;t, I don&#8217;t mind it so much, because either I took away a lesson, or maybe the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clarion Notebook: Get Lectured</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the top tips for being a writer: pay attention. Of course, it applies to observing the world in order to add to the wonderment of your stories, but it&#8217;s also a good idea to just go to readings. Why? &#8211;You can hear how authors read. Everyone has their particular style of reading, and [...]]]></description>
