		<description><![CDATA[So, Moon City Review 2010 has been out for a few weeks now; I received my contributor&#8217;s copy yesterday. Yeah, I&#8217;m pretty excited and pleased. It&#8217;s the literary anthology put out by Moon City Press in conjunction with Missouri State University, and printed by the University of Arkansas Press.

		<description><![CDATA[Actor and writer Wil Wheaton, and multi-award winning sci-fi author John Scalzi, set up a charity-benefiting writing contest challenging people to write a fan-fic that explains this painting at left. So, I gave it a shot. Don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll win but hey, it was fun to write. I get to retain all rights to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a new year&#8217;s resolution, I&#8217;m hoping to do more quick, literary themed writing, i.e.: book reviews and the like. I&#8217;ve been reading a lot of books lately (e.g.: the entire Vlad Taltos series, again) and would like to review them. (Actually, I&#8217;m in the early process of writing a scholarly paper on Steven Brust&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

The point of NaNoWriMo is to help people get past the blocks and barriers and hesitations and just write, dammit. Heck with editing (for now), heck with obligations and excuses for not having time, NaNoWriMo provides the [...]]]></description>
