		<description><![CDATA[ Last week I had the unusual experience of reading the comments an editor made while passing on my novel.  The Queen&#8217;s Pawn is being looked at by editors in nine houses in New York. Three of these houses have passed so far, which is to be expected. I have been at this awhile, so I am never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once more, I disappeared from my own website for the better part of a year. I am a terrible blogger, but when I am not  online, which is most of the time, I am working to become a better writer. While most of my fiction is historical in nature, concerning the Plantagenets of England and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If anyone has glanced at my blog since February, they might have asked the question: Where did Christy go? The answer: I&#8217;ve been writing. The novel I was concerned about in February, the novel whose revision eluded me for months, finally came clear. Princess of France, now renamed Queen&#8217;s Pawn, has been revised both to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[       I almost did not write this post today. The conference ended only Sunday, and today is Tuesday. I thought to myself, &#8220;I need more time to take in all that I learned. I need time to think.&#8221; Well, I&#8217;ve decided to ignore all that. I have too much work to do on my novel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me begin by saying that I don’t usually read poetry. Well, e.e.cummings and Shakespeare, but that’s about it. Most modern poetry usually takes me back to those painful nights in college when I would go and sit in our campus coffee house and listen to my  boyfriend and others read their work aloud in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[        I had breakfast yesterday with my agent and her husband at a fabulous restaurant in the German/Viennese museum on the corner of Fifth Avenue and East 86th Street. I am lucky enough to have an agent who,  though she lives in San Francisco, is interested in keeping in contact with me, so whenever she is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Needless to say, writing is hard. Not just the sitting in the chair and getting down what the Muse gives you, which is hard enough. (Though a joy, too. Please Muse, keep the work coming&#8230;)
   It&#8217;s also hard to sell the stuff. Once you get an agent, then you have to wait. You send the [...]]]></description>
