		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I drove 165 miles one way to speak to a book group. Approximately 100 women were in attendance, and the event included a nice lunch and the opportunity to sell books. (This isn&#8217;t a book group where the speaker&#8217;s book is read and discussed.

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to read and comment on some stories written by new writers. What I&#8217;ve noticed is these writers are so eager to get their stories written, they end up TELLING the story rather than drawing the reader into the story. Often what we tell these writers … <a href="http://marissoule.com/verisimilitude/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know when it happened, but sometime or another this month (or maybe it was this year) my brain ceased working. At least that&#8217;s how it feels. I thought I had a plot for my third Crows book, but evidently I don&#8217;t because I&#8217;m halfway through and I have … <a href="http://marissoule.com/im-brain-dead/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m having trouble discarding a preconceived notion. I&#8217;ve always considered books that were self-published as inferior, work that didn&#8217;t meet traditional publishing standards, books that lacked the qualities that make for a good read: tight writing, proper punctuation and sentence structure, and good story telling. More than once over the … <a href="http://marissoule.com/self-published-books/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think most writers, at one time or another, have met someone who said, &#8220;When I retire, I&#8217;m going to write a book.&#8221; They make it sound as if all they need is more time and they, too, will be able to accomplish what I or other published writers have … <a href="http://marissoule.com/writing-is-easy-right/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday&#8217;s USA Today had an article in its LIFE section about a new category of novels: NA (New-Adult) (http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2013/04/15/new-adult-genre-is-the-hottest-category-in-book-publishing/2022707/) These books feature protagonists in the 18-to-early-20s age range. The stories have the emotional intensity of YA (young adult) novels, but include more mature themes—the freedom of living away from home, … <a href="http://marissoule.com/new-adult/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

You can set your own hours, decide what you&#8217;re going to work on, and plan how you want the project (story) to turn out. &#160; &#160; One of the worst things about being a writer is … <a href="http://marissoule.com/whos-the-boss-2/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

I&#8217;ve lost a little, but it&#8217;s a slow process (we go out to eat way too much here in Florida), so I&#8217;ve started taking walks with my husband on the days I don&#8217;t go to yoga class.

You could further a discussion or further a career, but you had to go farther if you wanted to get anywhere. That&#8217;s what I thought, but I&#8217;ve heard and seen the two used almost interchangeably, not only with new … <a href="http://marissoule.com/further-or-farther/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>
