		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m often asked by both clients and those who attend my creative-writing workshops about using material from other work, whether it be citing a title or reprinting an entire passage.  Citing a title of a work is not a problem, unless it could be construed in a negative way as it relates to the [...]]]></description>

The question posed by the subtitle is too absurd to even consider, yet it happens all the time.  My favorite story involves a fellow who thought so much of his skill that he priced his e-book at $16.  After a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Writing for Publication&#8211;Will Agents or Publishers Edit a Manuscript?
A short while ago a young scribe wrote over a post of mine that writers did not need to have their manuscripts edited prior to submitting them to an agent or publisher.  His rationale was that agents and/or publishers would provide the service, and therefore [...]]]></description>

A while ago I read a paper that offered guidelines which ran from a page for flash fiction to 60,000 words as the starting point for a work to be considered novel-length.  I&#8217;m not remotely qualified to comment on flash fiction, but it seems 60,000 words is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first obvious issue for any reader of this article is the title, since it strays dramatically from the norm of using &#8220;versus&#8221; to separate the two mediums.  The reason for my word choice is because technology now enables anyone to self-publish for very little out-of-pocket expense.  
This still doesn&#8217;t imply that self-publishing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Words that Define In Absolute Terms and Those that Don&#8217;t
Amateur writing is full of misused modifiers and other syntax culprits that foul a narrative, but nothing may be more glaring than the improper use of some of the rudiments of rhetoric such as &#8220;a&#8221; and &#8220;the&#8221; or &#8220;will not&#8221; and &#8220;would not.&#8221;
