		<title>TGIF&#8230;for real!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey there&#8230;well, no #fridayflash today, but if you missed last week&#8217;s, you can check it out here. Can&#8217;t wait to see what everybody else is up to this Friday. Long weekend coming up, lots on the horizon for fall. I always seem to get a burst of creativity when the seasons change. What about you? [...]]]></description>

		<title>#fridayflash &#8211; Next Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first bullet ripped through his gut. The second and third through his chest. Everything halted to slow motion as he collapsed to the beige linolium floor. The kid who shot him, stunned by his own actions, left the money on the counter and fled. The old lady who owned the store dialed 911. At [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun and Easy Contest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you not familiar, there&#8217;s a site called AuthorAdvance.com. It&#8217;s a great website, where you can find agents, markets and track your submissions to them. There&#8217;s also a social networking aspect to it, so you can blog, form and join groups, etc. I&#8217;ve used it for a little while now, and in it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>#FridayFlash &#8211; If These Walls Could Talk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve heard the saying, “Wow, if these walls could talk?” Well, they can. So do the floors, ceilings and appliances. You just have to be “lucky” enough to be somebody that can hear them. Lucy just moved to a new place. As anybody who has moved knows, moving sucks. But for Lucy, moving is even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greetings from the Sunshine State</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we made it. In a manner of speaking. I mentioned in an earlier post that we were moving to Florida. This, so far, has been met with a few different reactions, but pretty much falling into one of three categories. 1. Oh, Florida is great! You&#8217;ll get to go to the beach all the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have no idea where she is. But I, Vanessa, have not been here lately and some of you are starting to wonder why. First off, thanks. It&#8217;s good to be loved, or at least somewhat tolerated. Or maybe just wondered about very occasionally when you have nothing else to wonder about. Anyway, writing wise, [...]]]></description>

		<title>#fridayflash &#8211; Full Circle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had several flashes of my daughter’s future this morning as she walked down the stairs. She was going to the mall with her friends, then going to prom, then graduating and following her dreams. But then she returned to the little smiley six year old that she is. Care-free and singing to herself a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Libraries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know about you, but I go to my library almost weekly. It&#8217;s a great way for me to check out different books for free. Lately, I&#8217;ve been getting a lot of audio books to keep me company on my commute. I&#8217;ve listened to books I probably never would have picked up before, just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Friday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey everybody&#8230;no #fridayflash this week, but that&#8217;s ok. I&#8217;ve actually been working more on the first draft of my new project. I don&#8217;t have a title yet, but it&#8217;s a post apocalyptic faerie story. Sound crazy, but it&#8217;s fun so far. So&#8230;what are you all working on lately? Anything interesting. Tell me all about it!]]></description>

		<title>#fridayflash &#8211;  Believe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The man was back. He comes here to my home often. Always with human things. We do not have such things. Things called, “cameras” and “microphones.” This man, he is called, “Mitch.” He has been coming here for a moon’s time. At first he was quiet. Then he started talking. I think he talks to [...]]]></description>
