		<description><![CDATA[Wow! The beat goes on! Molten meltdown of mental memes send me searching shelves for slender volumes.
I&#8217;ve tried reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac three times in my life. I forced myself to finish it last time. But apparently I was reading the wrong Kerouac or the wrong format.

		<description><![CDATA[My first Write-O-Rama workshop was &#8220;Pare It Down&#8221; with Anne Leigh Parrish. A workshop to get us to write simply and therefore strongly. Think Hemingway. Not one of my favorites. Not as pathetically macho as Mailer, but too focused so-called &#8220;masculine&#8221; values for me.
