		<description><![CDATA[[ September 6, 2010; 1:00 am; ] A lot happened this week, though whether or not I met my goals is sort of debatable. *g*

I received and finished the line edits on my novella that's releasing later this month. That's a huge thumbs-up since I not only hate line edits, but I'm totally pumped about this book. It will be my first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekly progress &#8230; or not</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[ August 23, 2010; 3:00 am; ] Wow, last week was a hideously unproductive week.

I met none of my goals. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. I did manage to get one lesson written for the novella writing workshop and I discovered a major plot problem in DWD, but as for wordage ... I got nothin'. *sigh*

In fact I've been so distracted and disorganized [...]]]></description>

EXCERPT
&#8220;Hey, is Jason here?&#8221; Rain, now wearing a pair of jeans so low-slung they showed those little divots just beside his hipbones, sashayed into the room and over to the desk. He leaned across the paper-strewn surface and smiled. &#8220;It&#8217;s Benny, right?&#8221;
