		<title>Contract: Signed!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just signed the contract with Medallion Press to publish Suckerpunch. My great agent Margaret worked with the Medallion staff to work everything out, and it all looks great. I didn&#8217;t see anything in there about firstborn children or souls, but the crew at Medallion are a cheeky, clever bunch&#8230;my kind of folks!]]></description>

		<title>2009 Metro Trek Adventure Race</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a blast in the 2009 Metro Trek Adventure Race, which had us trekking, cycling, paddling, climbing, and orienteering around Kalamazoo for 50 miles in 9 hours and 18 minutes. We took 3rd place immediately after the race but the official results have us at 4th. I&#8217;ve never been good at math, so I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holy crap, Shutter Island is a great book.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane is top drawer. I&#8217;m about halfway through right now, and it might turn into a complete tire fire in the second half, but I doubt it. Some literary snobs might find the characters cliche and the plot formulaic, but who cares? The characters are interesting and flawed and I want [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing Schedules</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re a writer, chances are you have a writing schedule that has taken a while to pin down. You tried getting up before work or school to write, but the words were too blurry. Then you tried writing at lunch, but the potato chip crumbs kept falling between your laptop keys. When you tried [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh boy. Just over 6 hours and almost 33 miles of trekking, mountain biking, kayaking, and orienteering through the dunes and woods of Muskegon State Park.

		<title>Meeting the Master &#8211; Elmore Leonard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scratch one item off the lifetime wish list: Last Thursday I went with Ellen to Schuler Books in Lansing for a book talk and signing by Elmore Leonard and his son Peter. It was an honor to meet the man who created Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Stick, 52 Pickup, Killshot, and so many more. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sorry for Any Website Trouble</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got hit by the Martuz and Gumblar exploits, so the site wasn&#8217;t working properly for a bit. I think it&#8217;s all clear. The good news is, now I have two names for characters who can die long, brutal deaths. Thanks Internet!]]></description>
