		<title>Warbreaker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months back, I made a pact with a reader to give Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson a second try if she would give Servant of a Dark God by John Brown a second try. I should have posted my review a long time ago, but I&#8217;m just a big old bloated procrastinator.
One of my [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wheel of Time E-Book Covers (image-heavy post)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I posted a copy of the e-book cover for Robert Jordan&#8217;s Knife of Dreams. The other covers are worth taking a look at, too. Which one is your favorite?

The Eye of the World e-book cover by David Grove

The Great Hunt e-book cover by Kekai Kotaki

The Dragon Reborn e-book cover by Donato [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Characters Are Not Alive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often hear authors talk about how their characters talk to them, or their characters surprise them, or their characters tell them who they are and how they want to be. I don&#8217;t get it. In fact, I&#8217;ve come to loathe it when I hear that kind of talk. I guess it&#8217;s kind of like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Knife of Dreams E-book Cover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now THIS is what I have always dreamed of seeing on the hardback cover for the Wheel of Time books instead of that colossally bad garbage that Darrell Sweet puts out. This makes me want to swear and cry at the same time—for positive reasons.
Michael Komarck is the painter, and coincidentally I just discovered him [...]]]></description>

Are You Writing, Or Talking About Writing?
Ouch. I suck.

		<title>Life Changes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently undergoing a major life change: I&#8217;m quitting my job of seven years to start a new job working from home. It&#8217;s a small internet-based company owned by my brother. I&#8217;ll be doing all sorts of writing-related activities—I could use terms like SEO copywriting, web writing, social media management, and technical writing—in addition to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weapons That Made Britain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ing over at Blog Ing just wrote a post about Deadliest Warrior, and it reminded me of another similar show I&#8217;ve run into recently. It&#8217;s called Weapons That Made Britain, and it&#8217;s cool because it mixes historical fact with modern weapon testing by a medieval weapons expert. The guests on Deadliest Warrior are called experts, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Novel Aid for Word Users</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I ran across an interesting piece of software that helps novel-writers who use Microsoft Word. The software helps you keep track of chapters and assemble them into a book. It presents you with an outline view of your chapters where you can drag and drop them to rearrange, and it automatically renumbers [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Write a Story that Rocks, part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I still have a few things to mention about this seminar, which I attended at Life, the Universe, and Everything at BYU last month. The fact that I&#8217;m writing three posts just on this one seminar should tip you off to how much I liked it. Yet I fear that if you watch the video [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sirenia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Suck. I just spend half an hour composing a post about a new band I found, and then my browser blew up when I tried to embed a video.
So this is all you get: Go visit Sirenia&#8217;s home page and listen to The Mind Maelstrom. Or go to their MySpace page and listen to Seventh [...]]]></description>
