		<description><![CDATA[One of the best aspects of being a writer is that we are truly limited only by our imaginations. But sometimes even those of us with the most radical frontal lobes need a kick start. Where do we go to emerge from the dull malaise of the mind? Fortunately, those in search of inspiration never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By David Siegel Bernstein, PhD What do you think about people seeing through you (optically—not because you are a shallow person, as you most certainly are not!)? Or, how about cloaking your starship as you sneak past an enemy armada? If you have thought about it, then read on. But beware: the methods of invisibility [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It doesn’t take much to go from science fact to science fiction. Especially when some scientific theories and experiments are so far out there to begin with. But when it comes to writing, being able to tweak something that’s scientifically plausible just enough to create an interesting, dramatic story is a valuable skill. Fortunately, that’s [...]]]></description>

What that translates to is basically a month-long food fest and family trips to see relatives. In other words, precious little time for writing. Now, this can be a welcome break for those who spend every waking [...]]]></description>
