		<title>Faulkner Influence in Stephen King Stories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the same time I was marveling at Martha Grimes&#8217; Emma Graham series (Hotel Paradise, Cold Flat Junction, and Belle Ruin) and having a grand time with Jury in the Richard Jury series, I was also having fun identifying and guessing at the literary and cultural influences on Martha Grimes. I finally had a reason [...]]]></description>

		<title>Billy and Stevie, Storytellers Par Excellence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite authors, Martha Grimes, gained even more points when one of her characters in Belle Ruin carries around a battered William Faulkner reader in his back pocket. The character is so attached to William Faulkner that he refers to him as &#8220;Billy&#8221;. If I was stranded on a desert island with only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Angst (from the diary of Joseph Kaufman)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is difficult to describe the degree and nature of tension which aggravates the fault line between being a religious man and writer of fiction. Call it a type of existential strife, a goading and constant friction, a frustrating and at times debilitating clash, which leaves neither of these sides of me alone or unharmed.

		<title>Influential Women in Publishing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I always face this moment when I&#8217;m supposed to be blogging about the great and wonderful world of publishing. There are so many out there that speak so eloquently and engagingly that I have a hard time thinking my writing stands up in comparison. There is, however, one area that no one has yet entered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why is The Huffington Post Important to Today&#8217;s Publishing Reality?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three years ago The Huffington Post, barely out of its incubator, was brushed off as a casual, digital hobby of Arianna Huffington.
By February 2010 The Huffington Post had 3.7 million unique visitors (Nielson Online). Technorati, the premiere blog search tool, has the Huffington Post as the second most linked to blog, second to TechCrunch.
The Huffington [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Memories of Bernard Malamud</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a senior at Bennington College, I fumbled around for a post-graduation plan which would allow me to write. I observed Mr. Malamud closely then, as if to construct some tableau of sustaining memory of what a real writer looked and acted like before being condemned to real-life writing wilderness: his narrow, almost Arab moustache, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Online Games as eLearning Strategy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has an account on Facebook knows about the games: FarmVille, Farm Town, Cafe World, MafiaWars, FishVille, YoVille, and so on. The opinions about the games are quite polarized, ranging from &#8220;I hate those stupid announcements. Ban the games.&#8221; to &#8220;I love those stupid announcements cause I get free prizes&#8221;. Of course, all interaction [...]]]></description>

		<title>Threes, the Third, at Bennington College</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the Diary of Joseph Kaufman.
It was at Bennington College, formerly an all-woman&#8217;s school gone co-ed seven years previous&#8211;450 women and 150 men at the time of my attendance&#8211;that I met my third great writing teacher, Nick Delbanco, and my third great friend, Marc Falcone. Bennington dorms were two-story, white New England clapboard houses abutting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Growing Beyond, From the Diary of Joseph Kaufman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After Mr. Benson, my 9th grade Marine writing teacher, I had no writing teacher for the rest of high school—there simply were no creative writing classes at Pittsfield High School from 1970-1973. Rather, in English class, we read Dickens and Twain and Hawthorne and wrote ten page papers about their significance&#8212;I don&#8217;t even think I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Future of Publishing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark Coker of Smashwords got me thinking about the future of publishing. Many people have written about the end of the year, end of the decade, predictions for the future, but Mark&#8217;s prediction kindled a flame of thought. I try to hold on to these moments because my work schedule has become so crazy I [...]]]></description>
