		<title>What College Students are Reading Now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, while on an airplane, I picked up a copy of Princeton Alumni Weekly, which had been left in the seat pocket by a previous traveler.  Since I’d brought a Kindle to read on the plane but was not allowed to have it on during takeoff, I flipped through the magazine to pass the time.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Joys of Revision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m stealing a line from Sharon Creech because it’s so good and so apt: Love may not last, but tinkering goes on forever. There’s a point when a manuscript is done—or at least when the story is all there, and the characters are worked out, and there are no more sleepless nights ahead where you’re [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Am Not My Characters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like all writers, I bring a particular life history and a particular view of the world to everything I write.   Many of the richest, most heartfelt moments in my stories come from long-forgotten moments that touched me deeply appearing magically out of my subconscious.  That said, it’s important to note that I write fiction.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Setting Goals (The Walkie-Talkies, Part II)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last spring, our hiking group decided to train for a very tough hike: we were going to climb Santa Fe Baldy, elevation 12,633 feet.  (It gets its name because it’s above the tree line and therefore literally “bald.”)  It’s a fourteen-mile hike, round-trip, starting at the parking lot of the Santa Fe Ski Basin, at [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Walkie-Talkies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Change is good.  It gives you the chance to discover new things and new people.  I think it keeps you young.  And so, after twenty-five years of living in Texas, my husband and I decamped, said a tearful goodbye to wonderful friends, and moved next door to New Mexico. I soon found that living here [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goldie the Blonde Bear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There’s a lot of wildlife out where we live.  Besides countless birds, squirrels, mice and chipmunks, there are bobcats, coyotes, raccoons, skunks, rabbits, deer—and bears. We’ve always had bear tracks and scat around our house, but they always visited at night.  They demolished our bird feeders, trampled our garden—one even left a nose-print on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leonardo in the Window Seat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to my brand new website—and welcome to my blog. For my first post, I’d like to share a piece that I wrote for The Horn Book several years ago.  It’s always been one of my favorites.
