		<description>[...] Phew! This strategy worked. Random brainstorming and just writing more and more finally led me to an answer and an ending. I tried to follow last contest&#8217;s strategy of having some twists followed by more twists, and I hope I succeeded. I think the story ended up okay, although it&#8217;s not a topic I would usually write about. I&#8217;ve sent it off and that means it&#8217;s time to get back to working on my novel after this brief short fiction interlude. The bonus is that this means I&#8217;ve now submitted two short stories to markets or contests this year so according to my goals I just have 18 more to go. [...]</description>

		<description>Kate, thanks for your good luck wishes, I&#039;ll need them :-) It&#039;s a funny coincidence that you just started catching up with my posts because I just started writing the 6 Random Things meme you tagged me for before Christmas. Great minds think alike?

Looking forward to seeing what you unveil!!</description>

		<description>Hi Amanda, 

Playing catch-up with your posts right now. It&#039;s been a stressful end of semester for me with the marking and all. I missed reading your blog!

Good luck to your New Year&#039;s Resolutions! Actually came over when I read you&#039;ve published a post from facebook. 

I also share the same goal with you on increasing readership. It&#039;s connected with the new projects I&#039;ve planned for the new year. There&#039;s one I&#039;ve been working on for sometime and will be unveiled soon. Stay tuned!</description>
