		<description><![CDATA[This seems like it should be the time I&#8217;d be pushing out frequent updates to the three or four of you dedicated readers. Instead, I have temporarily deserted you and experienced the last whirlwind month without you in my front pocket. What a terrible, negligent virtual pal I have been. I have been ensconced in [...]]]></description>

Butler tops my list for a hundred different reasons.  I will be in attendance at the Carl Brandon party celebrating her deserved induction into the Hall of Fame.

		<description><![CDATA[  I’ve been staring into the abyss of draft one of the novel—and it’s been staring right back at me (thx, Nietzsche!). I’m losing the staring contest. One of the most brutal truths of writing is: sometimes you have to throw away every word you’ve spent days/weeks/months stringing together. I am really bad at this. [...]]]></description>

During my stay at Hedgebrook (post on that TK, I swear), I had the pleasure of being in residence with a group of amazingly rad writers, most of whom were working in literary fiction (with the notable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  I haven&#8217;t been updating this much—neither because I&#8217;ve forgotten it nor for lack of things going on in life, but mostly because this year has turned into a year of mysteriously rapid personal growth for me.
