		<description><![CDATA[To encourage writers participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) I started writing The Daily Writer Notes, sending out an encouraging little email each morning.  The series sure kept me writing at least a little something every single day!  I enjoyed writing these so much that I&#8217;ve decided to keep on writing them every day [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a writer, how often do you stop to reread your work and then agonize over what you just wrote because it&#8217;s not perfect? How much time to you spend mulling exactly where to start a scene, debating the perfect first line for the fifth chapter, toying with the perfect verb for a key sentence, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Family and friends must understand that your writing time is important. It&#8217;s beyond important: it&#8217;s sacrosanct. It&#8217;s not interruptible. But it&#8217;s not fair to ask family and friends to allow you the time you need to write &#8212; to take your writing seriously and to support your creative efforts &#8212; unless you yourself take it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any big writing project, or even a modest writing project (is any writing project modest? I don&#8217;t think so!) requires you to sit down and actually write.  Finding the time to write is a matter of priority setting and a matter of logistics. 
Once you’ve cleaned up your calendar and eliminated any &#8220;extra&#8221; responsibilities, [...]]]></description>

Wondering why anyone would even want to try to write a novel in a month or 50,000 words of anything in thirty days. At that pace, the quality will be subpar and the burnout risk is above average.
