		<description><![CDATA[As a relatively new writer, I&#8217;m a big advocate of using what you know to add reality to your fiction. Using places you&#8217;ve been, and situations you&#8217;ve been in, gives a feeling of authenticity that fabrication doesn&#8217;t. Sitting in a donut shop yesterday, I was plotting out a section of &#8220;Blood Soaked and Gone&#8221; that <a href='http://www.bloodsoakedandwriting.com/2013/05/21/use-what-you-know/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

As a unit we all cried the same question back to her, “WTF?!” “I got it!” She yelled. “Mine, I tell you! Mine!” Did you know that you can hear someone <a href='http://www.bloodsoakedandwriting.com/2013/05/20/another-little-tease-from-blood-soaked-and-gone/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A fellow on the Fiction Writers Group on LinkedIn started a discussion about defining what &#8220;art&#8221; is in relationship to writing. I had to weigh in on that discussion, because I have tried to look at that issue in two other parts of my life. Plus, its a philosophical discussion and I&#8217;m a sucker for <a href='http://www.bloodsoakedandwriting.com/2013/05/10/ported-from-a-conversation-on-linkedin/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was just working on BSAG, and I found myself writing the death of a character who&#8217;s been around since the first book. I didn&#8217;t intend, in my copious notes, to kill him off. It just happened. It just works. I feel a little strange about it, as I always do when a story takes <a href='http://www.bloodsoakedandwriting.com/2013/05/08/novels-create-their-own-path/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>
