		<description><![CDATA[A lot of my most recent blog posts have centred on long-form writing like novels, memoirs, and how-to books. The reading challenge I&#8217;m doing is being monitored through Goodreads, and that site tends to consider the long-form book the primary unit of reading/writing measurement. It&#8217;s a major goal of mine this year to read at [...]]]></description>
