		<description><![CDATA[Well, there were the holidays, and then this depression crap, so I didn&#8217;t have a chance to announce that my poem, &#8220;Domesticity&#8221; was accepted for publication in the Spring 2010 issue of Center: A Journal of the Literary Arts. Of my 2 separate poetry submissions last year, I got an acceptance and what a friend [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow is the last day of both NaBloPoMo and the Poetic Asides November Poem-A-Day Chapbook Challenge. Thank fucking goodness. I&#8217;m not as concerned with the poetry challenge because they don&#8217;t all have to be written by tomorrow. Participants have the entire month of December to revise the poems and then submit it for the chapbook [...]]]></description>

Not too bad, and who knows? I may get into a zone and write 2 or 3 poems tonight! Overall I&#8217;m happy with where I [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve surprised myself by blogging every single day so far this month and I&#8217;d like to keep it up for as long as I can after November. I&#8217;m doing my best to complete NaBloPoMo, but it just may not happen [...]]]></description>

It was an honor to have my writing recognized, especially when it&#8217;s an issue that&#8217;s not only personal but societal. Regular readers (you know who you are!) know that I don&#8217;t often address my personal issues in relation to [...]]]></description>

Not only am I going to participate in Poetic Asides&#8217; 2009 November PAD Challenge, I, on impulse (surprise, surprise) decided to participate in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) this year for the first time. They even provide you with a nifty little widget you can put in your sidebar (hint: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I completed Poetics Aside&#8217;s April Poem-A-Day Challenge 2009, having written 30 poems in the last 30 days. I&#8217;m exhausted both mentally and physically (more on that in a few days &#8212; it&#8217;s my sprained ankle, basically). I set out to write at least 5 poems, and I wrote 6 times that number. Yay!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So as some of you know, when I started out doing this PAD Challenge, my goal was to write 5-10 poems. If I&#8217;m able to continue at my pace, I&#8217;ll have written a total of 30 in 5 more days. It seems like forever since I posted about reaching my goal of 5. Then 15 [...]]]></description>

On 4 out of the past 5 days I was able to write and submit poems on the same day the prompt was posted.
