		<description><![CDATA[The young writer or the very new writer most often begins with a story or a poem in mind. The subject calls to them, pesters them, until one day they say, “Enough already! I’ll write it down!” After that first adventure, they may start thinking about publishing what they’ve written. They buy some books on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=larina.wordpress.com&amp;blog=586862&amp;post=259&amp;subd=larina&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I am a geek. I am proud to be a geek. I&#8217;m really okay with being a fantasy geek. I&#8217;ve almost convinced myself that it isn&#8217;t the best genre for me to write, but for reading, there are few genres that I enjoy as much. The Lord of the Rings trilogy wasn&#8217;t my first [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=larina.wordpress.com&amp;blog=586862&amp;post=256&amp;subd=larina&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first full length novel I remember reading was Watership Down. I was in the third grade and my father bought it for me. The weekend after I&#8217;d finished it, we drove out to Elbe to a little greasy spoon restaurant (my dad&#8217;s favorite kind) and talked about the book over a french dip sandwich.

		<description><![CDATA[While I started the month honoring contemporary novelists &#8211; and fully intended to continue doing so throughout the month &#8211; I find that I cannot separate the novel from its history. Similarly, I cannot honor contemporary novelists and the impact their words have had on me without acknowledging the tremendous impact that historical fictions have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=larina.wordpress.com&amp;blog=586862&amp;post=251&amp;subd=larina&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
