		<description><![CDATA[I met some friends at SFO international airport last night. They were on their way home from a two-week trip to Vietnam, and there was a long line at customs. So I waited, with at least 100 other people.

		<description><![CDATA[Hot damn. I just finished the outline of my novel. It has a beginning, a point of no return, rising action, a climax, falling action&#8230; it even has a proper ending, though it may be too tidy right now for its own good. So now I just get back to writing, right? And yet here [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=prettygoodstories.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6894765&amp;post=52&amp;subd=prettygoodstories&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Long story short&#8230; I started writing this thing in 2006, not long after my Dad died.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got the bug. There&#8217;s a new story brewing. I don&#8217;t know how I&#8217;ll find time to write it, so I&#8217;m just hoping I can create some time somehow before the story leaves me. It&#8217;s a good idea, I swear, but I can&#8217;t tell you about it because I&#8217;m trying something new: not telling the world [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=prettygoodstories.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6894765&amp;post=34&amp;subd=prettygoodstories&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
