		<description><![CDATA[THE VESPERTINE Saundra Mitchell Harcourt Children&#8217;s Books Publication Date: 03/07/2011 I adore this book. I was captured by Amelia&#8217;s tale from the first page. Her story begins in utter devastation and takes you back through her exploration of a new, exciting city full of promise for her future. I enjoyed being engrossed in the lives [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aprilrobbins.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14172665&amp;post=36&amp;subd=aprilrobbins&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a plant in my office that was given to me just over a year ago. I am amazed it is still alive despite my best efforts to the contrary. For those of you unable to recognize this pitiful creature, it is a poinsettia. The two white leaves are all that remain of the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aprilrobbins.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14172665&amp;post=43&amp;subd=aprilrobbins&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took the scenic route home today. It started with a wrong turn, but I took the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone. It would have been easy to turn around and return to familiar surroundings. Had I done that, I would have missed seeing the beautiful fall colors on the trees.

		<description><![CDATA[You have words on the page. Actual words that have spewed forth from your consciousness overflowing with potential. Precious words that make sense, that have meaning. Words that have something important to say. You&#8217;ve crafted them carefully. You&#8217;ve agonized over their placement and syllables and inflections. They&#8217;ve been moved, rearranged, cut, pasted, rewritten. You have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aprilrobbins.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14172665&amp;post=24&amp;subd=aprilrobbins&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find inspiration more and more in my daily life when I allow myself to pay attention. I received feedback from a new critique partner a few days ago. I was excited, intimidated, confused, and almost felt like giving up. That happens a lot.

		<description><![CDATA[The biggest obstacle to writing is finding the time to write. Isn&#8217;t it? It used to be (and often still is). Until I learned it&#8217;s not about finding time, but making time. There are not enough hours in the day for one to float magically by and announce it&#8217;s dedication to writing, or for anything [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aprilrobbins.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14172665&amp;post=11&amp;subd=aprilrobbins&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

While I hope to offer both at some point, I don&#8217;t want to set your expectations to high.
