		<title>Thoughts On Branding and Hawt Sex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, probably not where you&#8217;re thinkin&#8217; I&#8217;m goin&#8217;. Sorry, kinksters, not today. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ve posted a definitive &#8220;personal definition of erotica/erotic romance&#8221; blog here, or not. As I recall, it&#8217;s almost standard inagural-post fare for writers who get a contract to publish an &#8220;erotic romance.&#8221; The first question out of anybody&#8217;s mouth [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Ereader That Wins Is&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;the one that can render PDFs with annotation capability without making the eyes bleed. It seems we&#8217;ve been thinking about ereaders all wrong. Along with thinking about ebooks all wrong. Actually, I shouldn&#8217;t say &#8220;all wrong&#8221; since we&#8217;ve had a lot of &#8220;right&#8221; in there, collectively speaking (and any new ventures are built on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baked Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes. My posting has drastically and tragically plummeted. Sadly, it&#8217;s because I don&#8217;t really have much to say&#8211;I tend to keep my uninteresting bits offline so that I&#8217;m not actively boring people as I go along. My goal is to make the world a more interesting place, not fill it up with boring crap nobody [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing Mom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you haven&#8217;t been paying attention, I am a writer who is also a mother to young children. Oftentimes, those children need to be directed towards productive activities (as opposed to activities that involve paint, carpeting, electricity under uncontrolled circumstances and/or cats under uncontrolled circumstances). May is one of those months where that direction [...]]]></description>

		<title>Under a Deadline Crunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you&#8217;re the bug, sometimes you&#8217;re the windshield&#8230; Today, I&#8217;m the bug. On the interstate. I can see a deadline approaching (with the word &#8220;Peterbilt&#8221; emblazoned across the grille) and I&#8217;m flapping my little ladybug wings as hard and fast as I can over the keyboard in hopes that, like a quantum butterfly, I can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creatures of Habit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We humans are creatures of habit. We favor routines, the familiar, the safe. Before it breeds contempt, familiarity breeds comfort. When we shop in the physical world, we favor a single commercial venue where many things can be found. This is not by accident&#8211;it costs more in resources for even the least technologically-advanced society to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring Broke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past week here at Casa de Xandra, it&#8217;s been Spring Break. And for once, it actually feels like Spring Break and not, &#8220;gee, let&#8217;s give the kids a week off school when the temperatures plummet, only two inches of snow falls on the ground (not enough for sledding), and the sky is the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Ebook Experience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past several months, there’s been fierce debate raging over what, exactly, ebooks mean to the present and future of publishing. Publishers of traditional, paper-based books are finding it no longer optional to address a growing demand for their content in digital form. Arising from that discussion is the need for people to determine [...]]]></description>

		<title>Impractical Shoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where I live, we&#8217;re just emerging from what&#8217;s felt like a long, cold, gray-ass winter.  The air still has a bite to it, and cloudy days are more often than not still cause for thick sweaters and soup for lunch.  But today dawned sunny and while it&#8217;s still mighty chilly in the shadows, the sunshine [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kicking Off the Covers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who&#8217;s a parent knows that it&#8217;s almost impossible for the kids not to show up in the middle of the night and burrow in next to you at least some time in their young lives.  Mine are notorious for midnight flights, and it never ceases to wake me up as soon as I hear [...]]]></description>
