		<description><![CDATA[I realized this morning that my online life was very very messy. It took a phone call from my website&#8217;s abuse department, which was a scary phone call before 9 a.m. (although this phone call would be scary at any time). Apparently, someone took advantage of my messy online life and created some very authentic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I write for a living. It’s an occupation that can make it hard to convincingly complain about a stressful day. I’ve tried. The results have been mixed, but in general, most are unimpressed. At the end of a challenging day, I somehow find the strength to put a meal together for my family about an [...]]]></description>

After looking it over, Teri passes it back with a few suggestions. A pretty normal day at the office for most, but Teri and Linda [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your invoice doesn&#8217;t have to be fancy. It can be a Word document, or just pasted into an e-mail. The important part is that you keep track of your invoices. You&#8217;ll need them for tax time. I recommend saving your invoices on your computer in a file called &#8220;invoices.&#8221; Or you can print them out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clips are copies of your published work &#8220;clipped&#8221; from the newspaper or magazine. You need to get clips to get published and you can&#8217;t get published until you have clips. It&#8217;s a vicious cycle. That&#8217;s why many beginning writers are willing to write for free. Some clips are more valuable than others, based on the [...]]]></description>

A writer can write to get clips, or to break into a new genre or to promote a book [...]]]></description>

In his memoir, On Writing, King talks about how he always dreamed of a big desk in the middle of a spacious office.
