		<description><![CDATA[  Interesting. Recently, one of my colleagues, the fabulous Douglas Lucas, asked on our class’ email list about our absolutely favorite novels/books of all time, ever. I thought and thought and thought about it. There are so many books I love, but if I had to commit forever to just five, the list would look [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I’ve been back from Clarion West, I’ve mindfully adopted the Jay Lake-Cory Doctorow*-kamikaze approach to submissions. Every single piece that is done goes out, somewhere, and the second it comes back, it goes off to the next market. This is about as opposite from the submissions process I had in my pre-CW days.
