		<description><![CDATA[Found this on the Telegraph.co.uk website.
In an episode that could potentially strain relations between Warsaw and    Washington, Radek Sikorski, an Oxford-educated politician who has lived in    the US, was reported to have made the jibe by an opposition politician,    Ryszard Czarnecki.
Writing in his blog, Mr Czarnecki, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve started to get the coloured pages in for my comic, GANGRENE, and they&#8217;re looking fab.  I won&#8217;t show them off yet - not until they&#8217;re all lettered up - but the eyes above form the last panel on page one.
Kudos to all the artists involved in the project - Neil Chenier (pencils), Travis Stephens [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I finished up a short story for possible inclusion in an anthology, due to be published in 2010.  Its called BOABY AND WINSTON AND ME, and is set in an unnamed town somewhere in the Scottish Central Belt.
For the very first time in my life, I have written something - albeit only 3,500 words [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in March this year, I posted the first two chapters of the &#8220;practice&#8221; book I wrote - Kentucky Fried Fairy.  I remain convinced there&#8217;s a masterpiece hidden away in the manuscript somewhere, but I don&#8217;t have the time to dig it out.
Instead, I&#8217;ve decided to post the rest of the book, bit by bit, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes this writing lark is easy.  You can come up with an idea, or reach a certain point in a story, and the words just flow out onto the page.  Kind of like Tippex, but with precisely the opposite effect.
That&#8217;s what happened with my new manuscript, which we&#8217;ll call NotLT for not-giving-the-whole-story-away-by-revealing-the-title reasons.
Essentially, I wrote [...]]]></description>
