		<description><![CDATA[ It's really rare to get an opportunity like this: to be young and single and unattached and constantly inspired and ferociously hungry. There aren't enough hours in the day to get every idea I have onto paper. I sometimes blink and wonder if all this has actually happened for me. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Jerry Waxler The first thing that caught my attention when I picked up Stephen Markley&#8217;s &#8220;Publish this Book&#8221; was that it was a parody of itself, a memoir about &#8220;writing this very book.&#8221; This trick of self-conscious awareness, or &#8220;meta&#8221; as it has come to be called, played a big role in my thought [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ But the kind of writing I do--and the kind of writer I want to be--is pretty much predicated on the idea that I am going to swing for the fences more often than not. What some call fearlessness, others will call dreck, and there ain't a whole lot I can do about that. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Jerry Waxler &#8220;Publish this Book&#8221; by Stephen Markley is funny from the first glance at the cover to the last page. His quirky, irreverent style of humor does not work for everyone, which is evident from the hate mail he regularly receives. But it works for me, making it one of only a handful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I worried in the book that my story was too normal, too uninteresting to merit attention (there's a whole chapter on it), but I think that's what makes people write to me and say, "Hey, man, this exactly what I'm going through right now." Because most of us just have normal American lives, but even those normal lives are full of drama and conflict and hope and tragedy and hilarity and intrigue and wonder.

		<description><![CDATA[Every time I finish reading a memoir, I wonder how the author turned life into a story. After years of trying, I believe I have found a simple formula. Each book follows the author from the seed of some desire, through the journey, until they achieve their goal. Now all I need to do is apply that formula to my own memories. For every desire that propelled me, I search for the path it forced me to travel.]]></description>
