		<description><![CDATA[On the bridge of an Imperial Star Destroyer halfway between Bespin and Tatooine, two men argue over money. &#8220;Due to the circumstances of Captain Solo&#8217;s capture, the Empire must deduct a small portion of your pay.&#8221; &#8220;That is not what I consider small.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s more than reasonable for the loss of five of my best [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every artist is in the process of ascending a mountain. At the peak is their vision. The peak keeps getting higher and higher but that&#8217;s ok because the more you climb, the closer you get to it and the better your art gets. The only way up the mountain is through work. Making art: that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

About thirty minutes from now, I will forcibly eject myself from this spacecraft, with only my in-suit life support system to sustain me (a generous estimate for a healthy man in his mid-thirties: approximately fours and thirty minutes, less than half of which will be tolerable).

I&#8217;m not sure how old the idea of The Elevator Pitch is but I&#8217;m under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that it&#8217;s grown to prominence in the relatively recent past, co-ascendant [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing a novel. There&#8217;s a bunch of other things going on as well, but the one that I am most excited about, particularly because it seems the most daunting, is a full-length prose novel. WHAT IS KNOWN SO FAR: It&#8217;s an SF/fantasy story set in 1983. Its locale is the West San Fernando Valley [...]]]></description>
