		<description><![CDATA[Beauty awakens the soul to act. Dante Alighieri Gah! I just can&#8217;t figure out what I should do with myself. Today is another exercise in frustration.

		<title>Shoveling shit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently listening to Stephen King&#8217;s On Writing. I fuckin&#8217; love this book. In the book, he mentions two important lessons he&#8217;s learned through his personal experiences. Here&#8217;s what he said: “Sometimes the author’s first perception of a character is as erroneous as the readers’. Running a close second [as a writing lesson] was the…]]></description>

		<title>My favorite poem ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but…]]></description>

		<title>Haikus about honesty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Almost any difficulty will move in the face of honesty. When I am honest I never feel stupid. And when I am honest I am automatically humble.&#8221; ~Hugh Prather A friend posted something really moving on facebook this morning. I don&#8217;t really know how to put into words what I&#8217;m thinking, but I can make…]]></description>

I think that allergy season must have arrived because my poor husband was snoring like you wouldn&#8217;t believe. It sounded like he was gargling rocks. I took my inability to return to sleep as a sign that I needed…]]></description>

		<title>March: the month of frustration</title>

For a long time, I&#8217;ve sort of thought, &#8220;Well, maybe that&#8217;s a sign that you are really not meant to be a writer.&#8221; The only problem with that is that I can&#8217;t stop thinking about my writing projects.
