		<title>That First Step</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve expressed the view that my next book, Dissolution would have been a better project to start my writing career.  I said that because the subject matter is a serious one - adultery, compounded by the existence of an illegitimate child.
I was so hoping that when I got the edits back, they would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jamaican Patois 101</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re encouraged as writers to stay away from dialect for various reasons, chief of which is that it may be hard for the reader to understand.  Those of us who use dialect may be at a disadvantage when we write, depending on how you look at it. For me, dialect adds another dimension to [...]]]></description>

		<title>So You&#8217;re Ready to Publish?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an interview with Jessica Chambers, she asked me if I had to give an aspiring writer one piece of advice, what it would be.  Here&#8217;s what I said:-
Don&#8217;t rush into the publication process. Take time to learn the craft and everything else will follow. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s possible to write for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Controversy Anyone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In November 2008, I chose a peculiar subject for my NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) project.  The story had to do with three female friends, who faced significant problems.  Two of them were in extra-marital relationships and the other could not get rid of a dead-beat boyfriend.
I played with the story idea for [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Dream to Reality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like I&#8217;ve said before, lists work for me. I finally edited my Things-To-Do down to one liners, which I&#8217;m working my way through. I pasted them on the ‘notice board&#8217; my son made for me. 
Picture four sheets of plain paper stapled together and taped to the wall over my desk. On it, he stuck [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Things Normal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I cut and pasted from Word again, which messed up the stuff over there in the column on the right.  This is a place holder to bring the stuff back so that people using IE can view this properly.

		<title>Keeping Track</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nearly a dozen days have gone by since I posted an update. I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ve achieved much, so this evening, I&#8217;ve taken a little time to catch up with my list.
* I&#8217;m still editing my last novel. I had given myself until the end of this month to get through the print-out and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goal Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friends Corra and Sybil reminded me that we&#8217;ve now gone half the year, which is a good point to review what I&#8217;ve achieved so far. I posted a list of goals on January 5 and I haven&#8217;t looked at it much, but I did keep some of the stuff in the back of my [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m at the point in my editing where I need to go back and fill in plot holes, which I&#8217;ve been quietly dreading. However, it seems the more holes I fill, the more details I have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rejection or Blessing in Disguise?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the normal course of our lives, we talk about ‘blessings in disguise&#8217;, but until recently I haven&#8217;t really thought about what it has meant for me as a writer.
In 2007, I thought I had a salable manuscript, so onward I went with querying. I sent the novel to a publisher who asked to see [...]]]></description>
