		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m officially FUCT (like it? I just thought of it)&#8211;a freelance, urban, cat-owning thirty-something.* Yes, going full-frontal freelance, instead of just dabbling as I have over the years (since the first dot-com boom left me gobsmackingly underemployed and staring down the face of bills). This time**, I&#8217;ve sat down and written myself a business plan, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of all the states I have ever lived in, Washington may be the most kind-hearted—and the most misguided. One of the first bills to hit the docket in the 2010 state’s legislature was a proposal by the honorable Democratic State Sen. Rosa Franklin of Tacoma to change the language the state uses when referring to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So. I’m starting a novel. I am of two minds about it: One, I’m really, really excited. The novel concept grew organically from the last short story I completed, mostly because I fell in love with the characters and became pretty convinced that the concept and world could be a bigger one than I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, the weekend&#8217;s over already. I&#8217;ve mostly avoided the internet. Barely checked email, did not twitter (twat?), no Facebook.  I did almost no writing, either. Instead, I celebrated Frank&#8217;s birthday, ate salted caramel ice cream, hung out with Jamie, watched movies, hung out with my husnamd, read, ate pizza, hung out with my dad, knitted, [...]]]></description>

Lots and lots of my [...]]]></description>

You can follow me, if you’d like. I promise completely mundane and/or cryptic 140 character updates that will overlap with neither my blog nor my facebook page.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not very good at waiting. For anything. Never have been. It brings out some sort of OCD tendency I know I directly inherited from my mother that causes me to do things like click refresh on my email repeatedly and check my bank balance every half hour on the hour. I also have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Process is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately&#8211;because I’ve realized in the past three weeks that I have no process. Well, not yet. And this terrifies me. Before you dredge up any sympathy for me, I’ll admit up front that it is my own fault. For twelve years, I bobbled quite un/happily in [...]]]></description>
