		<description><![CDATA[Well, not quite. It was 15. First read her essay “How I Went From Writing 2,000 Words a Day to 10,000 Words a Day”.  Now read about her 12 day triumph in &#8220;12 Days of Glory&#8221;. Amen on the pre-writing! I&#8217;d be lost without it. LOST. Sketching out scenes beforehand makes them SO MUCH EASIER to write. [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;ll also notice I haven&#8217;t finished the working outline.

I know you&#8217;re thinking she said something about my fabulous looks or the animal magnetism that pours off me sometimes in uncontrollable waves. But no, she was not talking [...]]]></description>
