		<title>&#8230;a look at the future #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing that Capsule has me doing is looking into where technology is going in order to create a somewhat believable world set in the 2070s.  In some ways there&#8217;s no getting this wrong, in others there&#8217;s no way of getting this right.  The farther out you try to project technology, the more likely you [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;a lost month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hasn&#8217;t been much said in here of late, cause there&#8217;s been very little to say.  I&#8217;ve entered 2010 with a rather protracted illness that, while not dire or anything, has somewhat sapped any interest I have in writing for the time being.  It&#8217;s going to be a slow road to recovery, which will either happen [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;&#8221;won&#8221; Nanowrimo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s always that question about what winning Nanowrimo actually is.  I hit 50,000 words, and that&#8217;s what they define as victory, so I suppose I won.  However, I realized near the end of the month that Capsule had only reached the end of Act One, and it really was a proper three act story with [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;begun again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know it&#8217;s not quite nanowrimo yet, but I was hoping to make Capsule something more than just a nanowrimo project.  Therefore&#8230;it has begun.  The first draft of chapter one is written, comes in at just over 3300 words, and I&#8217;m going to get started on chapter two today.  Everything feels so much better than [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;a reminder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know why I&#8217;m reminding the void, but maybe one day when people discover this blog they&#8217;ll read back and discover they&#8217;re far too late to sign up for Capclave 2009, which is next weekend.  Online registration is available through this weekend, same price as at the door, that&#8217;s $60/person for procrastinators like me.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;a motive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing that&#8217;s been lacking in preparing for Capsule is any idea of why the body that&#8217;s lying dead on the sidewalk at the beginning is lying dead on the sidewalk at the beginning.  That would seem to be a rather vital part of the plot, even though it&#8217;s meant to be a horror/thriller rather [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;countdowns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my effort to make this blog ever more and more of an actual living thing that one day people other than Day and Renee might read and enjoy, I&#8217;ve added content down the right hand side over there in the form of some countdowns.  Three big events:
Capclave:  Seriously, a great place to be a [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;vindication!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I knew I wasn&#8217;t alone in the whole 2.0 thing.  BAM!  BOOM!
Renee puts the mantra of 2.0 perfectly in her post:  &#8220;I’m tired of being a fan. I’m tired of being a wannabe writer. And I’m ready to do something about it.&#8221;
9 months until Balticon 2010.  Perfect amount of time to allow our ideas to [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;a road ahead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight starts a process that I haven&#8217;t done before.  Tonight&#8230;I start outlining a novel.  At this point, I&#8217;ve got full-length drafts of four novels: Rust, End of the Line, Ragnarok, and Conqueror Worm.  In each case, I walked into the novel having a vague idea of where everything was going, but never really knew how [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;lost his voice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t mean I can&#8217;t talk.  As any around me would attest, I&#8217;ve been oddly more talkative than usual the last few weeks for reasons that I can&#8217;t entirely explain.  And I don&#8217;t mean that I&#8217;ve completely lost my writing voice.  However, what I have apparently lost is the voice for Conqueror Worm, and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
