		<description><![CDATA[What an annoyance!  I opened up Broken Trails today only to discover the two scenes I&#8217;d edited weren&#8217;t saved properly.  I think they might have gone into the back up file, which I overrode with the current version of my project file upon opening.  * head palm * Ah, well.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finished entering the plot of Broken Trails into Scrivener, and have realized I&#8217;m not as close to completion as I&#8217;d hoped.  Instead of a couple more scenes to write, I&#8217;ve now got seven&#8230; and an additional four that can be swapped to Scotch&#8217;s POV rather than Lainey&#8217;s in order to even it out a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spent today plugging Broken Trails into Scrivener, and can already see a problem.  While I wanted a lot of the focus to be on Lainey&#8217;s POV (she&#8217;s the vehicle through which the reader learns about the Iditarod,) I&#8217;ve completely skipped the majority of the race from Scotch&#8217;s POV.  Rather than expand the novel even farther [...]]]></description>
