		<title>NaNoWriMo: Aftermath</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I didn’t make it. I’m blaming it on my laptop dying and my replacement laptop not arriving until last week.

		<description><![CDATA[Well to start with the laptop died a couple of days ago.

		<title>NaNoWriMo: Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What have I done? This is must be the maddest idea I’ve ever had! I thought quite sensibly that I’d have an outline and a plan going by today so that I could know exactly where I wanted to go. The trouble is that every time I actually formed more than a few thoughts on [...]]]></description>
