		<title>Flock saves writing time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve found a new tool to shave a bit of time off my internet rituals. I&#8217;ve discovered Flock, a web browser based on the Mozilla Firefox browser I currently use &#8212; but am now weaning myself from.

		<title>The Anti-Social Does a Get Together</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I attended the Lori Foster Reader Writer Get Together this past weekend in Ohio. I surprised myself by actually talking to people and enjoying it. Yeah, I like writing because it&#8217;s a solitary pursuit. However, the time comes occasionally when I really need to get out and talk to other writers face to face. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reading is my most powerful motivation to write</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must say, reading makes me want to write so bad I can taste the words in my mouth.  I get this  sensation in my stomach that feels like nerves but has more in common with a heart attack than an upset stomach. My chest feels tight and my breathing turns shallow. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hiatus is losing ground</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been on a self-imposed hiatus from writing for the last several months. I did this for several reasons I&#8217;m not going to go into right now. The thing is, I&#8217;m losing the battle. I&#8217;ve been wanting to write so badly the last few weeks that I feel like a loaded spring (forgive me for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review link</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To keep from littering the blog with reviews while I&#8217;m in a heavy reading phase, I&#8217;m just going to offer a link to the review I wrote this morning for The Prince&#8217;s Virgin Bride. Now that ebooks are around, it&#8217;s amazing how easy it is to get hold of out-of-print series books, like this Harlequin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Historical Romance Review: My Favorite Marquess</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Review of My Favorite Marquess, reviewed by Terescia Harvey, also posted at WeWriteRomance.com (because I share the love!)
My Favorite Marquess was fun, lively and humorous. Widow Violet Treacher and Sebastian Cavenaugh, the Marquess of St. Just, exchange letters at the book&#8217;s opening and that correspondence starts in motion Violet&#8217;s determination to set out for Cornwall [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review: The Footprints of God by Greg Iles</title>
