I don’t know if I’ll ever be 100% satisfied with that piece.]]></description>

		<title>Week 35 &#8211; Don&#8217;t Think, Keep on Writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many writers have asked me, “What should I do if I have to write something, or feel like writing something, but don’t know what to say?” My answer to them is, “An idea will eventually come to you if you keep on writing.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thoroughly enjoyed Joseph Sutton's A Class of Leaders.  The students' voices, in their speech and written notes, are exceptional.  It's Sutton's best. —Gerald Rosen, author of The Carmen Miranda Memorial Flagpole]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m going to take a ramble into the crevices of my mind to see what comes out of me. Here I go: I’m sitting in a coffeehouse. It’s almost 6 p.m., which means I’ll arrive home later than I want to, but I swore I wouldn’t let my pen stop until I finished writing at least two pages.]]></description>
