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>

		<description><![CDATA[By Linda Sherwood and Teri Brown It&#8217;s finished, but not quite right. Unsure of what the problem is, Linda passes it to her writing partner, Teri, to take a look. 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[As my daughter&#8217;s seventh birthday approached, I thought I&#8217;d get a head start on my shopping by asking her what she&#8217;d like. She quickly responded, &#8220;a CD player,&#8221; but she wasn&#8217;t done. She continued with a very lengthy list that included a VCR, television, telephone, at least 10 CDs, a few movies, and the latest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every Mom gets THE question at some point. No, not the sex question. I’m talking about “Who do you love more? Me or my sister?” The standard answer, of course, is “I don’t have a favorite. I love you both the same.” The answer may be the standard, but it isn’t a good answer. Loving [...]]]></description>

You smile at him sweetly before heading for the bank to check up on his college savings account. Once there, your smile disappears as you look at the balance: $127.36. That can&#8217;t be! You can clearly remember depositing $100 [...]]]></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>
