		<title>Warning: Just Getting Published is Not Enough</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With editing, photography, and life, I've been busy and very neglectful of this blog.  It will probably continue to be so for some time. But I do peruse the writing and agent blogs every week.  Tonight, I came across this wonder from Writers Beware: James Frey's Fiction Factory, published in the New York Magazine If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art Friday: The Life of Artists/Writers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where I'm at: always running. October is shaping up to be one of those months -- the crazy ones overflowing with ideas and work and art, but leaving little time for crafting blog posts.  All my saved and scheduled snippets of fascinating interviews have gone up.  And I just don't see time in the near [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Conversation with Tracy Chevalier by Ellen Fagg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tracy Chevalier With the publication of Freedom, Jonathan Franzen is back in the news.  Up here in St. Paul, he gets play even in readings by other (not surprisingly far less famous/notorious) novelists – which is to say, I’m already tired of PR wildfire.  Our culture seems seriously in need of a bad boy.  Or [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Conversation with Sherman Alexie by Rob Spillman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why write?  What's your motivation?  Anger?  That's the question poet/writer Sherman Alexie is asked all the time: SA: It used to be.  But you can’t sustain it.  You become bitter.  Nothing is going to change.  Anger leads to resentment, then to spiking your orange juice, then to martyrdom.  Certainly I’m angered, by politics, by racism, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Conversation with Claribel Alegría by Abbie Fields</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past months, I’ve watched the news regarding U.S. relations with Cuba with bated breath.  In March, Minnesota Democratic Rep. Collin Peterson introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives HR4645, the Travel Restriction Reform and Export Enhancement Act. Chairman of the Agricultural Committee, Peterson advocated agricultural trade with Cuba that would benefit Minnesota farmers [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Conversation with Charles D’Ambrosio by Heather Larimer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Agents, editors, writers, readers – they’ll tell you: Get rid of back story.  But should back story be so reviled?  Really. “Back story” in these instances, of course, usually means explanation.  This is what happened before to the characters.  Boredom!  Chop it up and take it to the dumpster. But what if back story could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art Friday: More on Christian Boltanski</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nearly every single day, including Sundays and holidays, people come to Inkslinger to read my post about "salon life" in Minneapolis and a talk I led on Christian Boltanski way back in March.  I feel bad for those folks stumbling upon my post.  It doesn't say much about Christian Boltanski (so I'm NOT going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coming Up: Tin House Interviews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I've finished going through The Paris Review Interviews -- all four volumes of them -- I'm turning my attention to Tin House's single volume of interviews: The World Within: Writers Talk.  Tin House kindly sent me a copy last December, and I'm oh-so-grateful they haven't asked me to return it!  The contents are [...]]]></description>

		<title>David Grossman: The Art of Fiction (The Paris Review Interviews, Vol. 4)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where Stories Come From: Interviewer: Do your story ideas usually come about in this kind of way -- seemingly out of nowhere? Grossman: I often feel that my subjects find me.  When I start writing about a character, a young lady, for instance, I don't understand why she is so important to me.  She is [...]]]></description>
