		<description><![CDATA[I came back from my vacation with an idea for a novel, and I signed up for NaNoWriMo to give myself the motivation to get to work on it. It&#8217;s now two weeks into November, halfway through the month. So how am I doing? Terribly, thanks. And that&#8217;s great. In order to &#8220;win&#8221; NaNoWriMo, you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m supposed to be writing a crappy novel right now for National Novel Writing Month. I started it last night while sitting in my local coffee shop with half a dozen other NaNos, and so far, I&#8217;m not entirely sure I&#8217;m going to finish. I need to do 1,667 words a day to hit the [...]]]></description>

Pepper taught the band to play&#8230;no, wait, that&#8217;s not right. *sound of backwards tape loop* It was 20 years ago today that the Holyoke (MA) Transcript-Telegram laid off half its newsroom, including me.

		<description><![CDATA[I came home from vacation with an idea for a mystery novel. Yes, I fear I&#8217;m going to commit fiction. You might ask why someone who writes for a living feels fear at the prospect of writing something. Simple: part of me thinks if I&#8217;m going to spend my precious time on writing, it should [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last week, I&#8217;ve turned down two opportunities to help out other people because there wasn&#8217;t anything in it for me. Hold your horses. Before you start accusing me of being a calculating, selfish user, let me elaborate. In the first case, I got a request for an introduction to a professional connection from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My ability to survive and thrive in my day-to-day life depends on two brains. One is the approximately three pounds of lumpy grey and white matter between my ears. The other, about 2.5 pounds heavier and also grey and white, is my laptop. They aren&#8217;t a truly redundant system — I haven&#8217;t yet figured out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me set up a hypothetical situation for you. Someone does something really crappy to you. It doesn&#8217;t involve torture, bloodshed, or imminent danger to life or limb &#8212; but it&#8217;s not a minor annoyance, either. Think cheating, stealing, lying to or about you, that kind of thing. To make matters worse, it&#8217;s done by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I thought I had found an acceptably affordable one-way ticket to London, but this week, when I went to book it, it was gone. After two hours of concerted searching on Booking Buddy, I turned up an acceptable alternative for just $34 more than the first. Having learned my lesson about not letting [...]]]></description>

If you book a one-way award, you&#8217;re not getting 50% off a round trip ticket. You&#8217;re getting a free trip in one direction. Going the other way is [...]]]></description>
