		<description><![CDATA[The Write-O-Rama is a full-day smorgsbord of 1-hour workshops run as fundraiser for the  Richard Hugo House.  I arrived early. You never know about traffic and ferries coming from the Olympic Peninsula. Whenever I&#8217;m confident I&#8217;ll make a specific ferry that&#8217;s when I end up behind a caravan of RVs driven by near-sighted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The plan was to spend January completing the first draft of a memoir and then going back to work on the NaNoWriMo novel revisions. That was the plan.
I did, however, get to work tangentially on writing. A friend asked me to be a beta reader on the first draft of her first novel. She&#8217;s published [...]]]></description>

The novel&#8217;s not quite done, but the end is in sight and I feel confident I&#8217;ll actually make it.
I&#8217;ll write more tomorrow.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, no one showed up at the Itty-Bitty Buzz this morning from my region. So I NaNoWriMoed by myself for 2.5 hours. The place is now invaded by a couple of Boomer grandma&#8217;s gossiping at the tops of their lungs (you&#8217;d think they were on cell phones) about breast feeding and the inevitable conversation of [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m taking a bit of extra effort on the materials because I hope to recycle them on my web site and with other clients, but it&#8217;s proving an enormous time and energy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, the title is misleading. I fell short of my personal Day 1 goal of 2,700 words. That&#8217;s what I need to average per day to complete over 80,000 words. I know NaNoWriMo is only 50K words, but I&#8217;m wanting to complete a full first draft, so I would need to shoot for the 80K.

I&#8217;ve started many and bogged down in the middle which led to eventual abandonment. This time I&#8217;m determined to make it through the first draft. Okay, I&#8217;m keeping this short because I&#8217;ve got [...]]]></description>
