		<description><![CDATA[Now that it&#8217;s December 1, I feel like I can freely confess this: I blew off NaNoWriMo this year. I&#8217;ve written a &#8220;novel&#8221; (I use the term loosely) every year since 2004. Some are better than others; none are great. I&#8217;ve always been ok with that. I know that I&#8217;m not a novelist, but after...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I crossed the NaNoWriMo finish line with flying colors &#8212; 128% of quota &#8212; and yet the win has never been less satisfying. I ended with approximately 528 words of quality fiction, but I certainly didn&#8217;t end with anything close to what you might call a novel. As I think about it, the 528 words...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve reached 17,011 words and I think, to be fair, I should stop calling it a novel. This is little more than a random effort of disjointed fiction. And while my feelings about it may change down the road, I think I&#8217;m ok with that. Even without a coherent plot and discernible character arcs, it&#8217;s...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The trick-or-treaters have gone. When the clock strikes midnight, I will begin my sixth year of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Coincidence that the event kicks off at the tail end of a Halloween candy-induced sugar high? I think not. I&#8217;ve managed to hit the 50,000 word goal in all but 2006; yes, I&#8217;m using...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve entered and &#8220;won&#8221; three of the past four years of NaNoWriMo. For those who aren&#8217;t familiar, it&#8217;s a month-long event held each November in which you have to write 50,000 words in 30 days. Quality doesn&#8217;t matter. There&#8217;s no time for editing. The very important point of the exercise is to put your butt...]]></description>
