		<description><![CDATA[I’m loving the mix of people here. There are teachers, there are MFA students, there are retirees, there are folks like me with day jobs that have nothing to do with their writing. One great thing about the workshop: no name tags. (You can figure out who the writers are by the familiar way they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The clerk at the literary liquor store looked at us fiction writers and shook his head. All seven of us were at the register and between us we had only a measly couple of six-packs and a flask-sized Jim Beam. &#8220;The poets drank waaaayyyy more than you folks,&#8221; he said, referring to the poetry workshop the [...]]]></description>

She’s fantastic; I love her work, and happily direct you, dear reader, to What I Didn’t See, her alternately harrowing and enchanting new collection of stories. She&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I landed in Reno tired, my eyes red from lack of sleep, lungs breathing in stale cabin air all the way, and I have the jitters. I’m anxious and my nerves are jangly, but it&#8217;s not because of the din and jingle of the slot machines by the luggage carousels. I&#8217;m not jittery because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the early 2000s, one of my fonder blog-related memories was being part of an adobo blog-a-thon, back when I was getting my feet wet in blogging. The idea was that different bloggers would write something, anything, about adobo &#8212; a short essay, a recipe, even fiction or poetry if it moved them &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And so it ends, this experiment in kicking procrastination in the ass. 50,000 words in 29 days. Not a bad thing, considering the fact that I have zero experience in writing fiction and that I started this project with no outline or any real plot. I came up with the one-sentence plot summary only the [...]]]></description>

A great way of increasing your word count, plus he [...]]]></description>

The novel, American Idols, is about a call-center employee in the Philippines who wakes up one day and discovers he is turning into Tom Cruise. Here he is at work: Tom [...]]]></description>
