		<title>Admin. Yawn. (OR IS IT?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spent the last few days implementing updates to my website, which was a tiresome and unwieldy process, owing mainly to the combination of 1) I hadn&#8217;t updated the website since 2010, and 2) the website was designed when I only had ONE book series out with a few non-fiction works on the side, so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dr. StrangeName, or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the BabyName Bloggers (part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I am writing stories set in the real, contemporary world, the  names the characters have are much more familiar to our ears. That&#8217;s why  the heroine of my first book is named Amy, and her friends have names  like Lydia, Brandon, George, Jenny, Malcolm, Josh, and James. She has  friends [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dr. StrangeName, or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the BabyName Bloggers (part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I learned back when I was pregnant and looking at potential names for my kid was that there were people out there who are WAY more obsessed with names than I am (and all those links are only just the ones where I don&#8217;t point to specific posts, as i do [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Love Palindromic Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I am thirty-three.
This morning, when Queenie woke up crying before the sun rose, Sailor Boy let me stay in bed. Happy Birthday to Me!
And now I work. I&#8217;m trying to finish a project today, before Sailor Boy and I go out to dinner.
Meanwhile: here&#8217;s today&#8217;s post at Genreality.

		<title>I&#8217;m Still Here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m just rather snowed under. Deadlines, sick dog, sick kid.
The deadlines are for my last contracted book. It&#8217;s with Harper (Balzer+Bray). It&#8217;s YA. That&#8217;s all I&#8217;m saying right now.
The kid has a cold. Nothing serious, but she&#8217;s pretty miserable. Still adorable in her miserableness, though, since all she wants to do is cuddle and have [...]]]></description>

		<title>To the Brim</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mind is going in a million different directions these days.
I&#8217;ve been typing all day with one eye on Rio, trying to discern from every little sigh and moan and how long she&#8217;s been napping and how much she&#8217;s been eating, how she&#8217;s feeling and if she&#8217;s getting better. It kills me that we aren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
