		<title>Mood Writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I get this post started, I want apologize for the long hiatus from writing here.  My non-fiction book was due to the publisher this month, so I&#8217;ve been focusing on it the past few months.  Rest assured, however, that I&#8217;ve been writing fiction when I need a break from the world of baseball collective bargaining [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aubrey Abbott (Part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought it might be fun to write Reed&#8217;s friend Aubrey since I&#8217;ve written so much Reed now.  If you haven&#8217;t read Reed&#8217;s story, you can find Parts 1-9 here. &#8220;One&#8230;two&#8230;three!  Open your eyes,&#8221; Carrie says excitedly. I muffle a gasp as my eyes adjust to the sight of myself in the mirror.  My naturally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reed Callaway (Part 9)</title>

		<title>Back to Me &#8211; Chapter 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m done with my manuscript for BACK TO ME, which I&#8217;ve written about on here.  I recently entered my first 250 words in a contest, so I wanted to share the entire first chapter here for those who were curious what happens next.    Kate Dalton’s heart raced as she replayed the voicemail, listening for clues [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taylor Mercer (Part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You can catch Part 1 of this character here. As a little girl, I dreamed of my wedding day. My dress would be so big they&#8217;d have to cram it into the limo. The bridesmaids would wear pink and carry white roses. Four tiers of cake would greet my guests, complete with tiny pink roses. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taylor Mercer (Part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard you have to know yourself before anyone else can. It&#8217;s bullshit. I firmly believe it takes seeing yourself through another&#8217;s eyes to be self-aware.  Sometimes we&#8217;re lucky enough to find someone who knows us better than we know ourselves.  If we&#8217;re really lucky, that person loves what they find. Call that person what you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reed Callaway (Part 7)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Funny how I didn&#8217;t think I had enough of Reed&#8217;s story in me to write a manuscript, yet I feel compelled to write her story constantly.  I&#8217;m up to over 10,000 words with her now.  Maybe there really is a manuscript there.  For now though, I like writing her here. If you need to get [...]]]></description>
