		<title>Reader Guesses, Coloring Our Expectations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Marie Brennan, author of a series of historical-fantasy novels and a bunch of short stories, including multiple ones in my magazine Beneath Ceaseless Skies, had a really neat post on the SFWA website a few weeks ago about audience expectations and reactions in terms of theories or guesses about plot twists or revelations.
She talks about [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Writing Tip, from Building Model Tanks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I built model tanks when I was a kid.  I had a How-To book of neat tips, including one that was actually about artistic intentions.
The German tanks in WWII had numbers on the turret.  The numbers were usually painted at the assembly plant using a stencil, but sometimes the crews painted them by hand in [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Escapes Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A writer buddy of mine recently noted how his escapist pleasures as far as books were diametrically opposite from the person he was chatting with about it.
I&#8217;ve thought a lot about what for me makes good escapism, in pondering what types of stories work for me as an editor and what types don&#8217;t.  I get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Komet, and Impact</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet in the Smithsonian Air &#038; Space annex, snapped on a recent visit with a fellow writer and history buff.
The Komet was one of the late-war German &#8220;wonder weapons.&#8221; It was a revolutionary and amazing design&#8211;a liquid-fueled rocket plane. But it was utterly impractical&#8211;it flew so fast it couldn&#8217;t shoot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sympathy for the Lorax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I went to see this indie documentary, Kalamazoo River: Us, which tells the history of that river&#8217;s pollution since the frontier era and the efforts of activists to get it cleaned up. It&#8217;s a bizarre film, full of hilarity and musical numbers. The director, Matt Dunstone, was on hand to answer questions [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Thirsty Friday Duel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For Friday, and in honor of my buddy Justin Howe sharing this thirsty link, I present to you &#8220;Serrated-Sword Man vs. the Mug Monster&#8221;:

As you can see, Serrated-Sword Man, backed by an old BCS flyer, standing on the infirm footing of a page of short story notes, is battling his much larger foe, and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>“Demo Love,” Rewrites, and First Draft Spark</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my music buddies years ago coined a neat term: &#8220;demo love.&#8221;
Sometimes the first version of a song you ever hear is not the original but some other band&#8217;s cover of it.  Then later you hear the original version, by the original artist.  But the cover version you heard first is so indelibly impressed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take a Look at Some Less-Known</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to alert people to the Hugo nominations deadline this Sunday and the stuff from Beneath Ceaseless Skies that&#8217;s Hugo eligible; now I have to remember to send in my own nominations. :)
Neil Clarke, Hugo-winning editor and tireless advocate for the field of semipro zines, had a cool tweet yesterday that he hopes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lower That Crossbow, Pardner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week while pondering swords &#038; sorcery as I jotted notes for the roundtable S&#038;S discussion for SF Signal Podcast #108, I had a neat revelation.  Lou Anders, Hugo-winning editor and huge S&#038;S fan, mentioned the same thing during the podcast, so this connection has clearly caught other peoples&#8217; eye too.
