		<description><![CDATA[As of yesterday, I am 25% through the first draft of my latest novel (which is really my oldest novel, but that&#8217;s another story). I have a little widget on my computer monitor that was designed for keeping track of money as you save it up. I changed &#8220;dollars&#8221; to &#8220;words,&#8221; and voila! I can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://meganedwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Spotlight.jpg" border="1" width="100" align="left" />Las Vegas Writing Examiner Morgan St. James recently interviewed me for her weekly "Spotlight" column. It's online today: "Today’s Spotlight is on Megan Edwards—author, traveler, editor, entrepreneur and survivor. We’ve all heard the expression 'making lemonade from lemons.' Megan’s story is similar, but a little different. She carved an amazing career from tragedy.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to be giving a highly illustrated talk in Dearborn, Michigan on Saturday, July 3rd, 2010. As a speaker at American Mensa&#8217;s Annual Gathering, I&#8217;ll be showing off a whole slew of funny road signs. In addition to some howlers from RoadTripAmerica.com&#8217;s gallery of funny road signs, I&#8217;ll be unveiling a bunch of all-new, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I headed out to the Rainbow Gardens Geological Preserve, that rock hounder&#8217;s paradise between Las Vegas and Lake Mead. Rainbow Gardens was named for its colorful rock strata, but for a few fleeting days in spring, wildflowers add even more brilliance to the display. With a little help from Vivaldi and Animoto.com, I made [...]]]></description>

Isn’t it rather obvious that headline news is better distributed by a medium that can update itself more often than every 24 hours, not to mention deliver itself to you [...]]]></description>

I joined her for the “swing shift,” which began with a briefing at the command headquarters. After that, we headed out onto the streets in a black-and-white cruiser. By the time I headed [...]]]></description>

I <em>love </em>them.  They have to be good ones, though, which for me means they have to be tough.  They also need to be interesting, and if they're thought-provoking, that's even better.  Which is why I've always liked acrostics...]]></description>
