		<title>Update on Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry I didn&#8217;t get the new post in the New World of Publishing up. It will be next week now, since I&#8217;m going to be out of town this weekend. And yes, it&#8217;s going to be cool where I am going. (grin)

		<title>Free Fiction of the Week: Ghosts of the Garden Lounge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Ghost of the Garden Lounge

The special jukebox inside the Garden Lounge takes a listener back through time to the memory from a song. But sometimes that memory can be deadly for the time traveler. And time-loops do exist, even in the Garden Lounge.

		<title>A Great Post For Writers (plus a story of mine)</title>

		<title>What I Did This Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
First off, a sort-of failed experiment.  I tried posting a free story every week for about seven weeks this summer and got one comment privately about them, so figured no one was reading them. So when I went fishing into my little trip to heat exhaustion, I decided to just drop the free weekly story. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Killing the Sacred Cows of Publishing: You Can Only Sell What&#8217;s Hot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This myth kills careers, this myth stops thousands and thousands of book sales, this myth destroys careers.
And it&#8217;s just stupid, even though the myth seems to have a logical base in publishing.

		<description><![CDATA[Before I hit the &#8220;away from this computer&#8221; road, a new post from another writer who has learned about agents. This person is very smart, a fine writer, and is learning quickly. The link is the first of three posts about her three agents, all before she turned 19.
Got to go read this one, folks.
