		<title>Martha Wells: The Terribleminds Interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Martha Wells is no slouch when it comes to writing -- her first novel, The Element of Fire, landed with Tor in 1993 and her most recent novels, The Cloud Roads and The Serpent Sea are out now with Night Shade. That fails to mention the many short stories and non-fiction pieces, too.]]></description>

		<title>No Go For The Terribleminds Kickstarter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alas -- there shall be no terribleminds Kickstarter. Though I pitched it as a finite creative project with a start and finish (meaning, a total revamp and redesign of the site to enhance user functionality), they still deemed it a life-funding project. Which is a shame (and I disagree with the assessment), but there it is.]]></description>

		<title>Two Girls And One Search Term Bingo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since the last Search Term Bingo. I blame the slowly-growing evil found in the dread hearts of the LORDS OF GOOGLE. Since encrypting search terms for those logged into any Google service, I get like, minimal deliciousness in terms of freaky weird-ass search terms. They still come in &#8212; but now [...]]]></description>

		<title>25 Reasons That Writers Are Bug-Fuck Nuts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems like a good time for a spiritual successor to my earlier "Beware of Writer" posts -- this time, jacked into the popular "25 Things" format here that all you cats and kittens seem to like. Plus, it's sometimes good to speak to the non-writers out there, let 'em know why we get that spooky glint in our eyes once in a while.]]></description>

		<title>Tunes For The Penmonkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given that different music is valuable to different writing moods or to writing different scenes, what do you like to write when working on certain types of scenes? Say, when you're writing action? Or drama? Or sex? Or ACTION DRAMA SEX? (That will be the name of my memoir, by the way. Look for it in the year 2034. Provided we all survive the Hyperborean Sharkpocalypse of 2032.)]]></description>

		<title>Flash Fiction Challenge: One Small Story In Seven Acts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Intro (duh) –> Problem or Attack (duh) –> Initial Struggle (character first tussles with source of conflict) –> Complications (conflict worsens, deepens, changes) –> Failed Attempts (oops, that didn’t work) –> Major Crisis (holy goatfucker shitbomb, everything’s gone pear-shaped) –> Climax and Resolution (duh).]]></description>

		<title>Myke Cole: The Terribleminds Interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All I gotta say is, Myke Cole? Bonafide bad-ass. Furthermore, an all-around nice guy. He's also a guy with a book out this week -- the military-meets-magic CONTROL POINT (AKA "Black Hawk Down" meets the "X-Men"). Here he sits down and submits to the terribleminds interview.]]></description>

		<title>The Experiment Ends (And Other News)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of late, a number of folks have noticed a phenomenon. You put your work up for free, and then when it once more re-enters paid gravity, suddenly the book becomes a Purchasing Magnet whereupon droves and flocks and herds and gaggles of Amazon readers come out of the woodwork to buy the recently-free book...]]></description>

		<title>Shotgun Gravy Is Free For The Next Five Days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, I'd like Atlanta Burns to meet some new readers. If this does that, win. I'm keen on finishing and releasing the sequel, BAIT DOG (now likely a novel, not a novella), but I'd like to get this book in more hands before I do so. If this does that? Then hey, score. ]]></description>
