		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, while doing some additional research on how to further develop a career in writing, I came across a question about a writing competition in a forum.  Competitions?  They have writing competitions?  I guess I should have realized that, but truly it hadn&#8217;t crossed my mind.  I ran off to my favorite search engine (hello <a href="http://www.desertpond.com/start-writing-again/writing-contests-worth-your-time/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My goal is to start writing again and to keep me on track I&#8217;ve developed a list of daily writing tasks that I&#8217;ve been following pretty religiously.  Although hard to call it a task because it&#8217;s more fun than work, one of those steps is to write short pieces of creative writing fiction for a <a href="http://www.desertpond.com/start-writing-again/creative-writing-idea/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My five year old is starting to discover the joys of writing and wrote his first story last week. He was so proud he asked me to bring it to work with me and then quickly made me promise to bring it back home, too. I was wise enough, albeit at the last minute, to <a href="http://www.desertpond.com/start-writing-again/writing-zone/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I felt a little worn out yesterday so I didn&#8217;t get much work done. Actually, worn out isn&#8217;t quite accurate. I didn&#8217;t feel tired, I just felt lazy. I should have done some writing. I should have worked on my Squidoo lenses. I meant to go around visiting.

		<description><![CDATA[In my continuing journey to start writing again, I’m working through a book of daily writing exercises. The easy part, sometimes, is completing the exercise. The hard part is putting it out here on the web for anyone who might wander by to comment on or critique However, I’m hoping others who want to start <a href="http://www.desertpond.com/start-writing-again/journal-exercises-for-writers/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
