		<description>When I was offered the promotion, I &amp;#8211; was &amp;#8211; elated. I&amp;#8217;ve gotten promotions in the past but they were all lateral. No, this was an honest-to-God Real promotion. Long story short, things didn&amp;#8217;t work out. I&amp;#8217;m still getting over it to be honest. Seeing the ocean was bittersweet. Yes, it was awe-inspiring. Tears were [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/5-rings/feed/~4/P1LXEM2OQjs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

		<description>(Just to forewarn you, I use the word &amp;#8216;very&amp;#8217; a lot in this post.) It&amp;#8217;s not fair to just say &amp;#8216;stuff is going on&amp;#8217; and not tell you what that stuff is. First of all, I wrote yesterday. I couldn&amp;#8217;t bring myself to edit my novel so I worked on one of my short stories [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/5-rings/feed/~4/QFcLf6yyTlA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

		<description>Hey guys, some major, life-changing things are happening right now. Can&amp;#8217;t really go into details until I know more concrete information, but everything&amp;#8217;s topsy-turvy this month, haven&amp;#8217;t been able to do much writing. I&amp;#8217;m trying to fall back into form but there&amp;#8217;s a lot of life-related things to think about, making it next-to-impossible to concentrate.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/5-rings/feed/~4/j3ZZhzzpeoU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

		<description>Trying to keep the momentum from yesterday, I did find that changing the finished text color to white is even better because I can&amp;#8217;t see it at all &amp;#8230; except for all the annoying squiggly spellcheck and grammarcheck lines. Word seems to think I&amp;#8217;m an idiot most of the time. So I want to propose [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/5-rings/feed/~4/9Rb-JZqB9wg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

		<description>Well, haven&amp;#8217;t written much this month until today. That sucks, but it was partly because I&amp;#8217;ve been kept busy at work and partly because I was sick over the weekend. Excuses, I know. And that&amp;#8217;s too bad because on January 31st I was flying high. I had 16 REALLY GOOD writing sessions last month, sessions [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/5-rings/feed/~4/m03Xc7b0Brc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
