		<description><![CDATA[There's a bench in Cully, Switzerland. It's in a little park tucked up against the shore of Lake Geneva. I go there a lot to just sit and think, or not think. I've been doing it for 13 years. I'm sitting on that bench now, writing these words. First time I came here... Christ, it [...]]]></description>

Spend time in Portland, or likely any other major city in North America, and this experience is not uncommon.

Take some of your favorite books by people you know, hashtag #fridayreads, and link directly to the book at your favorite local independent bookstore. It looks something like this: #fridayreads Loving #AVeryMinorProphet by @jamesbfrost. Tall bikes, zines, hipster love! Get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you are a young writer, or an unproven writer, you receive a great deal of well-meaning advice from people who don't write and can't understand why you persist at it. Some of the advice is helpful &#8212; most of it, probably, is helpful: keep at it; don't give up, being the most common and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's been entertaining watching and listening to reviewers talk about Being Flynn, the movie being made from Nick Flynn's novel, which bears the expletive-laden title Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. You can hear annoyance in the reporter's voices, the fact that they're adults that have to tiptoe around Nick Flynn's title, "Ha ha, we [...]]]></description>

On the other hand, if I were to become Dave Eggers, I would immediately take Benzedrine, stop showering, write for seven days without cease, finish a novel, [...]]]></description>

The compulsion to run has always been with me, as natural as picking scabs and torturing little brothers. I still fight the impulse daily. Sit down at the desk. Do [...]]]></description>
