		<title>Was the sex intentional?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An ad arrived from my bank, Chase, which contained a reference to a &#8220;Chasexperience.&#8221; The &#8220;sex&#8221; resulting from the concatenation of &#8220;Chase&#8221; and &#8220;experience&#8221; had to have been intentional. The word, &#8220;sex,&#8221; wakes the reader up; the purpose of advertising is to attract attention, and then to make an offer. (Chase&#8217;s offer, in this case, [...]]]></description>

		<title>GB Shaw on communication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alex Mandossian had another gem in a recording I just listened to: &#8220;The single problem with communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished.&#8221; Wow! I think every writer should print out this quote and frame it.

		<title>Write a book and scratch an itch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I have &#8220;itches&#8221; that are hard for me to articulate, things that somehow want to be &#8220;scratched,&#8221; if only I could find them.

		<title>Write a book: The diamond is your friend for more than book-writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most popular posts on this blog is The diamond is your friend, which is almost a year old. The idea (go read it if you haven&#8217;t; it&#8217;s very brief) seems to resonate with everyone who thinks about writing&#8211;anything, not just books.
