		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve received several advice-seeking emails since this blog began from writers who feel the need to apologize to me&#8211;because they are not &#8220;writers,&#8221; exactly, but &#8220;just&#8221; bloggers. Well, now. First of all, this column is for writers of blogs (popularly known as &#8220;bloggers&#8221;) as much as it is for writers of novels, or stories, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love books about writing. I love reading books about writing, because then I can spend a nice portion of each day reading about writing, and at the end of the day I feel like I&#8217;ve sort of written because after all I&#8217;ve been thinking and isn&#8217;t thinking the first step to actually writing?  And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway.” That&#8217;s a quote from Junot Diaz, and I like the way he thinks.
