		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, my critique group launched a joint web site/blog. Hosted by WordPress, it’s called The Wild Writers. We did this for a number of reasons. First, our combined wisdom about writing is deeper than any one of us alone could claim. Committing to writing two blog posts over the course of several [...]]]></description>

Afterward, we visited several towns so I could get a firsthand look at architecture, artifacts, landscape, history, and anything else to help me create believable settings for my books. Here are some [...]]]></description>

This story of romance, intrigue, secret alliances—and a little bit of magic—is aimed at teen readers. I’d like to thank my amazing agent, Steven Chudney, for the suggestions he made for strengthening the manuscript, and for believing in the story. I’m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve always considered myself a seat-of-the-pants writer rather than an outliner. Lately I’ve been wondering if there’s an in-between technique that can also work. At the 2010 Pikes Peak Writers Conference, Carol Berg did a session on alternatives to outlining. She spoke of the “minimum you must know” before putting pen to paper: Character(s) to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting the timeline of a novel right can be a real challenge, and I doubt I’m the only one who struggles with it. At the beginning of a book, I resolve to keep track of the timeline as I’m writing. That works out pretty well for the first three or four chapters, before much time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’d never done it before—written out of chronological order—except during revision. But after a discussion at Critique Group a few years back, I decided to give it a try.  Kissing Shakespeare was my work-in-progress at the time, so I wrote dozens of scenes as they sprang to mind, slotting them in later. And yes, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When novels written in present tense first began to appear, I thought sure it was a fad. A trend that would disappear as quickly as it had sprung into being, when sane readers and writers everywhere would agree on how annoying it was. Wrong. It hasn’t disappeared; in fact, it’s caught on and stuck. People [...]]]></description>
