		<title>Answering The Trio: Riddle Me This, Writers And Readers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's Saturday, which means I gently nudge the ball into your court. See if I can't trick you into picking it up.

Today, a trio of fiction-related questions. Answer one. Answer all three. Or hedge your bets, go for two.]]></description>

		<title>Staple Your Rejections To Your Chest And Wade Into Battle With Them As Your Armor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember: you fail until you succeed. That's how life is. Life is a game of inches -- progress gained in sometimes agonizing increments. Sure, sometimes you make a big leap forward or slide a little backward, but fuck it, what else are you going to do?]]></description>

		<title>Pull The Trigger On These Trigger Words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am forever in search of tips and tricks to keep me walking the balance beam during the course of writing a big project, especially a novel. I forgot how daunting a process this is -- and I say this after having completed it like, six other times now. You get halfway through and you start wondering: how did I get naked? Why am I wearing a cardboard box on my head? Is that an emu? Why is it so angry?]]></description>

		<title>Painting With Shotguns XLVI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You threw your hats into the ring, and I picked names out of a hat. Maybe the same hat. I dunno. It was a Fez. With sequins. It was filled with monkey droppings. Is it yours? (I know it isn't Doyce's -- his is velvety and dispenses both Skittles and Rogaine.) 

Anyway, here are the seven lucky folks!]]></description>

		<title>Who Wants A Fat, Meaty Hunk Of Terribleminds?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The only way I can ensure that radio silence does not descend upon this site is by turning over the keys to you crazy loons. I did this before when hop-skipping off to the Sundance Labs, and the results were troubling. I had to pull someone's panties out of the garbage disposal. A syphilitic possum lay dormant under the couch. Someone threw up in the fridge. It was a bad week.]]></description>

		<title>Listen For Your Voice And What Do You Hear?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don't know that I could identify my own voice, and I'm trying to ascertain the value in picking apart those things that identify my so-called voice. What characteristics go in there? (Profanity, I guess. Or, excuse me: profanity, motherfuckers.) On the one hand, I think it'd be interesting to pull it apart, see what elements comprise one's voice for good or for ill. Maybe even allow some course correct. ]]></description>

		<title>What Writers Can Learn From Watching Inception</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What I do know is that Inception has a lot to teach writers and storytellers. I don't mean that the way the film was written or made has lessons, though that's likely true -- no, what I mean to suggest is that the nature of Inception's story, and in particular the rules about dreams and dream architecture, can help inform the way you tell stories.]]></description>

		<title>And Now, A Dollop Of Poetry Atop Your Blog Sundae</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Get on down in the comments. Things I'd love to hear from you, if you're willing to share: favorite poems? Favorite poets? Poems you dislike? Forms you love, forms you don't? Further, poetry is one of those forms you can find free on the Internet and in apps -- for instance, the Poetry Foundation's "Poetry Tool" (pretty cool, check it) also has a free iPhone app. ]]></description>

		<title>Painting With Shotguns XLV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Been a while since I slapped you in the mouth with a hot tasty recipe, right? Right. Thus, it's time. Except this recipe ain't hot in the temperature sense. It's cool. Chill. But it's hot like sexy. It's hot like fishnet stockings. It's hot like that scene in Ghost with the wheel of clay. Yeah. Nnnggh. Swoon.]]></description>
