		<title>One Month into My Smoke-Free Lifestyle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello, Everyone, I&#8217;m still alive and doing pretty well. As of August 24th, I have been smoke-free for one month. This is a major milestone for me, as I was not able to stay away from the cigarettes for longer than a week. I&#8217;ve been writing like crazy, although I haven&#8217;t touched Shades of Evil [...]

		<title>Blu Cigs: A Great Alternative to Traditional Cigarettes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in my last post, I have been researching the e-cigarette as an alternative to traditional smoking. Blu Cigs won over the scores of other brands on the market for several reasons. Price was the first major factor. The glowing reviews from scores of heavy smokers that have said that they haven&#8217;t touched [...]

		<title>Designing with Frugal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After months of tinkering with the Thesis framework, I decided that I wasn&#8217;t happy with it. Not that Thesis is a poor framework. Far from it. The problem is, I just haven&#8217;t mastered the fine art of coding and decided that I don&#8217;t really want to. I&#8217;d rather write actual words and create eye-catching designs [...]

		<title>Writing Progress: Surpassed My 40K Goal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This novel is nowhere near complete yet, but I&#8217;m happy to say that I surpassed the 40K milestone last Sunday. I still need to work on my descriptions, and I still need to flesh out the antagonist some more. I&#8217;m making progress, albeit slowly. Due to some other projects, I haven&#8217;t worked on this story [...]

		<title>Book Review: The Things that Keep Us Here</title>

		<title>Character Development through Voice Journals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alan Rinzler posted a great article about character development, using a technique from James Scott Bell’s The Art of War for Writers, called voice journaling. His article inspired me to practice with the characters I’m writing about. I figured that I would start off with the easiest character first, since I already know a lot [...]

		<title>FastPencil: Online Publishing Made Simple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FastPencil is another self-publishing service company that plans to rival Lulu with its simplicity. For instance, you don’t have to wade through pages and pages of material to figure out how to self-publish your book or ebook. I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing yet. I’ll know once I finish the [...]
