		<description><![CDATA[I loved attending the LDStorymakers conference this year. It was awesome, fun. I chatted with old friends and met new ones.  Got (stole) a great story idea from Donald Carey, the Conference King. Enjoyed Provo&#8211;love the weather down there this time of year! Attended some great presentations on writing. Gave some that seemed to help a number of folks. It&#8217;s a special delight [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Curse of a Dark God, book 2 of the Dark God series, can now be published! That&#8217;s the short version. Here&#8217;s the long version that will probably not be what you expect.  A little over nine months ago I initiated a contract termination with my publisher Tor Books.  A few days ago Tor reverted the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have finished the final drafts of my two presentations for the LDStorymakers conference which will be held next Friday and Saturday, May 10-11, 2013 in Provo, UT (usually a glorious time along the Wasatch Front in Utah). “Vivid and Clear” – Despite the often repeated 11th commandment for writers—show, don’t tell—writers NEVER show. They can’t. [...]]]></description>

They do these  hilarious skits. Like &#8220;Drivers Ed&#8221; And &#8220;Blind Date&#8220;. And &#8220;Shoulder Devil&#8221;. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.  BTW, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was date night with daughter number 4. I asked her what she&#8217;d like to do. She said she wanted to play a computer game. She likes the ones on friv.com. Probably because there are a couple hundred to choose from, and they&#8217;re free. Every time we&#8217;d play games before, we&#8217;d play Miragine War. Warriors, [...]]]></description>

Well, that was six months ago. I was told in January to give it six weeks. We blew past that. And so I&#8217;m waiting. The oxen are slow, but the earth is patient. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a special joy in sharing a wonderful experience with someone else. There&#8217;s a delight in reliving the experience afterwards, in recalling key moments and quoting funny or cool lines. This is especially true of books. One of my favorite book experiences is Ender&#8217;s Game. Which is why I&#8217;m so happy to announce that Smart Pop is about to release [...]]]></description>

Lots of research and lots fun and sometimes maddening work to get to this point. Here&#8217;s the current version of the summary, which will change. Southeastern Utah. 30,000 square miles of red-rock desert and wilderness.  One of the least [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You read some reviewers because they regularly set you back in your chair with keen insight. You read others because their phrasing and voice are so delightful that you find yourself unable not to read, even when they venture forth into exciting areas like soup cans and lug nuts. I, alas, fear I cannot occupy either role when I tell you about the BBC&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
