		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just dished out my novelette, &#8216;Branching Out&#8217;, to some beta readers and will be starting the 4th draft of my 2nd novel, &#8216;Broken Branches&#8217; which means soon I will have nothing else to write about, so now&#8217;s a good time to think about starting a 3rd novel. I was in this position in November [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man! Am I the laziest blogger ever?! Been writing a short story, &#8216;Branching Out&#8217; which is a prequel to my second novel &#8216;Broken Branches&#8217;. Originally thought it would be 2,000/3,000 words, so far I&#8217;m on 8,500 and it&#8217;ll clear 10,000 easy (which classifies it as a &#8216;Novelette&#8216;, apparently). Also, between the last post and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently read &#8216;Why I Write&#8216; by George Orwell and within the essay &#8216;Politics and the English Language&#8217; lie the &#8216;writing rules&#8217; sometimes quoted on Twitter and elsewhere online. It&#8217;s an interesting essay where he points out that jargon, unoriginal metaphors, padding and &#8216;humbug&#8217; are used increasingly in politics and creeping into other literary arena&#8217;s.

What I found was a wealth of copyright expired classics swaddled within the damp, soiled rags of negligent designers. In this day and age, classics should be treated with a little more care and attention&#8230;and here is my idea. Amateur, student, [...]]]></description>
