		<title>Transformation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last month has been pretty grim. I have done very little writing, as I&#8217;ve been dealing with some frustrating health issues. The main problem is that the generic version of my depression medication, while it worked when I took it daily, did not work in the weekly dose that I&#8217;m on now. Possibly as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making it work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since my last oh-so-inspiring post, I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of thinking and even a fair bit of writing. I completed the outline for my screenplay and have started working through what I&#8217;ve written and matching it to the outline. I&#8217;ve also actually come up with a story for a couple of characters that have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just another oncoming train?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For about the last four months, my team at work has been down a person. About two or three weeks ago, I ran out of other people in the company I could give tasks to. This means that there&#8217;s stuff going unassigned, there&#8217;s stuff not getting done, and I&#8217;m doing a lot of things I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Becoming a morning person?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been stressing quite a lot lately about many things. Work has and seems to be doomed to remain quite busy. I haven&#8217;t had much time or energy for writing. But I might have hit upon a solution. The last few days, I&#8217;ve been putting in time in the morning, before I leave for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>By Jove!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I finally have a middle for my screenplay. It certainly took me long enough to figure out what happens between the beginning, which as remained relatively unchanged, and the end, which is also relatively unchanged. But there&#8217;s now all this stuff that happens in the middle, and it came because of two changes [...]]]></description>

		<title>A strange phenomenon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I haven&#8217;t left early or stayed home because of being sick, I&#8217;ve been staying really late at the office. Lots of things going on, and the uber-boss has made it clear that this will continue, and that it will be a refining fire, wherein he will see if we&#8217;re actually willing to put in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finished something!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My writers&#8217; group is in what we&#8217;re calling 2.0. The theory, at least, is that we&#8217;re all making a big push towards finishing things and getting published/bought. Which means I got bullied into convinced to sign up for a submission slot. I didn&#8217;t have it done by the meeting, but I did finish it today, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Story arcs in television</title>
		<description><![CDATA[IO9 posted an interesting article called &#8220;What&#8217;s The Matter With Story Arcs On Television?&#8221; The comparison is summarized as this:
&#8220;on the one hand, self-contained weekly episodes are newbie-friendly and easy to show in reruns, because it doesn&#8217;t matter what order you show them in. On the other hand, how deep can your characters and universe [...]]]></description>

		<title>So that&#8217;s the problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Decided in a bored moment to attempt the snowflake outline method on a short story that&#8217;s been kicking around in my head for months. I could actually do the first step, as I know what I want the story to be about. Second step&#8211;that&#8217;s a doozy! I guess that&#8217;s partly why I haven&#8217;t written it&#8211;I [...]]]></description>

		<title>You are unique&#8211;just like everybody else</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been working on the snowflake outline for my screenplay. It&#8217;s helping. A lot. I have found holes, which I have filled. I have found out things about my characters I didn&#8217;t know that I needed to know. I still have a ways to go in this outlining process, but I feel much better [...]]]></description>
