		<description><![CDATA[At Hedgebrook’s Writing Salon last Saturday, one woman who’s writing a book spoke up at lunch and said she’d been so focusing her attention and energy on tasks to complete her book that she’d sort of developed blinders (my phrase, not hers).  Her experience resonated for me as I’ve done the same in the last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1980, at the age of 7, I moved to Seattle. Almost immediately, I started plotting my escape.  This had to do with my inner landscape more than my outer one, but I only saw that in retrospect. I was an awkward kid who skipped grades and started university in my early teens.  It was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The late poet was a patriot who wrestled for the soul of her country. I know you are reading this poem listening for something, torn between bitterness and hope… I was 19 when I first read Adrienne Rich and these words from “An Atlas of the Difficult World,” which seemed to tear down the barriers between [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My writer friend Mary Anne posted on her blog about waking up at 4am from bad dreams and then … writing! I am inspired at how often she does this. She wakes up with way too little sleep — crying babies, nightmares, whatever. She stresses about it for maybe a paragraph. And then? She gets right to work. By [...]]]></description>

Actually, this farmhouse table was not on idyllic Whidbey Island, but in a conference room at [...]]]></description>
