		<description><![CDATA[I bought a wonderful book a month ago called &#8220;The Writer&#8217;s Portable Mentor&#8221; by Priscilla Long. I&#8217;m only about 1/5 of the way through it, and it&#8217;s already worth it&#8217;s weight in gold. I highly recommend purchasing a copy, if you can find it. I thought I would share the result of one of the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivene.com&amp;blog=2593947&amp;post=982&amp;subd=rivene&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Freedom Part 1: A Spoiler-Free Review Some fiction writers use fantastical elements to get us behind the curtain of reality. Once there, they use the extraordinary to speak about the ordinary. C.S. Lewis takes us through an ordinary painting to get us into the extraordinary world of Narnia, where he then takes us on a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivene.com&amp;blog=2593947&amp;post=955&amp;subd=rivene&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Like a parent who rears a child in the hope that it will do good in the world, the writer must release an idea, knowing that children rarely praise their [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivene.com&amp;blog=2593947&amp;post=943&amp;subd=rivene&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part 2 of a two-part review of Ender&#8217;s Shadow, by Orson Scott Card (467 pages). I’ve settled into a book review format that I like: the first review will be spoiler-free, followed by a more detailed analysis. If you missed the spoiler-free version of Ender’s Shadow, catch yourself up here. If you don’t want any [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivene.com&amp;blog=2593947&amp;post=921&amp;subd=rivene&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
