		<title>Why Improve?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m the sort of person that consistently sets goals for themselves and tries to meet them. Most of the time, I fail spectacularly, but over time, I&#8217;ve gotten good enough at the whole thing to assign self-improvement tasks without swamping out all the other things that I need in life: Time to cultivate my relationships, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stupid Hang-Ups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just today, I realized that my writing style drastically changes because of something seemingly arbitrary: Whether I write in Microsoft Word, or in some sort of Blog Software? You can imagine my confusion, but when I looked at the stories I&#8217;ve written in Word or an essay or just a rant, in MS Word, my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Real World Blues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my previous entry, I touched incidentally on my aversion to stories set in the &#8220;real world&#8221;. I didn&#8217;t have this problem growing up &#8212; although I preferred fantasy and science fiction stories, I consumed far more contemporary realism, mystery, and suspense stories growing up. I started to become a staunch Science Fiction and Fantasy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creator or Critic?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During my group&#8217;s New Years&#8217; Eve party, one of my friends since before High School and I got to discussing what we&#8217;d been watching lately. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been enjoying Shakugan no Shana,&#8221; I said. I am, as usual, late to the scene, but to my surprise my friend, with much more free time on his hands, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yes, I&#8217;m back.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things have been kind of hectic over the past few months. In April, I took a break from updating this blog in order to just finish out a manuscript. It has been completed, and it&#8217;s called Snowraven. It sits at 80,000 words, which may fluctuate in the ongoing flurry of edits. In July, I began [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elfsbane Tea (Short Story)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The stone pillars to each side of the dirt road had been overgrown with moss, and lichen covered the fenceposts. The old farmstead had fallen apart once he’d left it. The sheds where the sheep wintered lay in shambles, and the animals grazed in overgrown flowerbeds. Ol’ Mag, the cow that had been ancient before [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Jalt&#8217;s Tooth (Short Story)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wil huddled on his cot, peering through a crack in the wall that admitted starlight and rooftops. The straw mattress couldn’t hide the hardwood underneath from his bruises. He tried to ignore the tearing sackcloth sounds his Father’s snores made. He tried not to think about the old drunk at all. Curling tighter to keep [...]]]></description>

		<title>Game Review &#8211; The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No seriously, buy this game: Pure Awesome. The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a great gift for anyone that you know who like ludicrous amounts of gore.  This game is a fast-paced, action-packed side-scroller, but with so many vertical scrolls that it almost feels like it&#8217;d better be called just a scroller.  The story is zany [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tester Management and You!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just before the turn of the New Year, I was promoted from Tester to Senior Tester.  Since then, I&#8217;ve been conquering the learning curve of being relatable while maintaining some semblance of authority.  In the Gaming Industry, a historically hip and edgy field, it&#8217;s as hard as week-old biscuits. My first mistake as a Senior [...]]]></description>
