		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; death sometimes had its price. That line comes from the beginning of For a Few Dollars More, my favorite Sergio Leone film and my favorite western, period. I&#8217;ve been thinking about it a lot over the past couple of days, largely because I&#8217;ve been thinking about what I might wish to sell via Amazon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you may recall from Monday&#8217;s post, I have finished my last manuscript and am now free to pursue something new. The problem, which I hinted at that day, is that I had no solid plans in mind for my next step. I have a couple of ideas kicking around. One, tentatively called Grow, is [...]]]></description>

Well it turns out that&#8217;s not going to be the cover. This is going to be the cover: What do you think? I was quite fond of the original design, or at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a year ago I knew nothing of real merit about George RR Martin&#8217;s A Song of Ice and Fire. I had read none of the books, though I knew people who had, and I had watched none of the show, though I likewise knew plenty who had. I wasn&#8217;t even sure I was interested, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In just a few minutes I will embark on the final 4,000 or so words of Los Amantes, a manuscript that took me an inexcusably long time to complete. Had I not decided to shirk my writing responsibilities for more than a month, I would have finished the thing ages ago. Like I said, inexcusable. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, the results from my son&#8217;s blood work are back. The news is mixed. One of things I need to reiterate before we go any further is that raising a child with autism is extremely difficult and time-consuming work, even more so than raising a neurotypical child. And in addition to all the accommodations one [...]]]></description>

And I guess my reward, too, given how badly the morning went. Let me rewind a little. Up until very recently, it was impossible to [...]]]></description>
