		<description><![CDATA[Yep, right about the time I&#8217;m finally getting out of debt, I&#8217;ve decided to return to school and complete my degree. I&#8217;ve decided that I&#8217;m not going to continue with my computer science degree, but instead get a creative writing degree. My goal is to get an MFA.

That&#8217;s right, I&#8217;ll be right down the street from the Cowboy&#8217;s Stadium and just a few minutes away from my kiddo. Other personal things of note: I&#8217;ve been following a high raw diet and losing a few pounds and feeling great. Additionally, I&#8217;ve started [...]]]></description>

Its purpose is to help me make sure I&#8217;ve covered all the things I feel are important to get a complete story covered.

This one is called “Write that Novel!” which seems pretty much perfect for me. I have totally stalled on War Dogs of Mars&#8217; progress. This looks like a comprehensive course. I&#8217;m going in [...]]]></description>

I don’t believe I’ll need to redraft this story, but I might need to go through and attempt some serious cuts. However, even if I cut 10-20% of the story, [...]]]></description>
