		<description><![CDATA[Quite the question, is it not? Not an easy one to approach without squirming in the seat a bit. These days I feel pulled in so many directions. It&#8217;s not that I haven&#8217;t always been, it&#8217;s that now I have a greater realization of this whirlpool momentum. I have a more intimate understanding of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Motivation is a strange thing for most of us. Today a good friend over at Flexbandit forwarded me a video that captures the spirit of our motivation as people. It also captures something that I feel is wrong with many businesses today. Below are a few highlights from the video, which I hope you will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Marilee Swirczek said, Writing is the act of selecting and organizing words&#8211;creating prose with words&#8211;with the purpose of providing the reader with an insight, or truth, into the human condition. Yes, one can write simply to entertain or to produce a laugh or a reaction, but insight is the higher goal of writing, The [...]]]></description>

Then he wrote a book about it. David Malasarn had this to say about the experience: This video reminded me that, no matter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read this passage today, taken from Bird by Bird, by Anne Lamott. Enjoy. People tend to look at successful writers, writers who are getting their books published and maybe even doing well financially, and think that they sit down at their desks every morning feeling like a million dollars, feeling great about who they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where does your inspiration come from? Do you write in the mornings or the evenings? How do you get the idea for a plot? How do you write such vivid characters? All journeyman writers know these questions. If you have been to a reading or read an interview of a popular author, they abound. This [...]]]></description>

I tried my hand at it today in photoshop, and what you see below is the product of that day. Those deep, philosophical places in the back of my mind are awed by this&#8211;the infinite wellspring of the mind; the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve wanted to talk about this for a while now, but haven&#8217;t had anything to say that isn&#8217;t brooding. I think The Rejectionist did a fine job of capturing my mood, and without making me seem like the whiny source. Later, I&#8217;ll post a more objective study on the topic. For now, feel free to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Air is optional. I hear so much about how people &#8220;need&#8221; this and &#8220;need&#8221; that. So what is it that we really need as a person? You might argue that, to survive, a person needs food, clothing, shelter, water, and air. But who needs to survive? At first, I&#8217;m sure that question sounds absurd. Let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
