		<title>Con or Bust: Where you can get a handmade print copy of &#8220;The Fox&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Con or Bust is an annual auction that raises money to bring fans of color/non-white fans to science fiction conventions, including WisCon (which I will be attending this year!). If you&#8217;ve ever been to a sci fi convention, you might have noticed that there are very few non-white convention-goers, and things like Con or Bust ...]]></description>

		<title>The Miseducation of Cameron Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not usually a big fan of coming-out stories. I feel like I&#8217;ve read/watched/heard/been through a lot of them. But every once in a while a coming-out story is published that hits it out of the park and reminds me not only why (and how) they can work, it also reminds me how connected queer ...]]></description>

		<title>January 2012 in Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already February! Which reminded me that I thought it might be fun (for me) this year to do a monthly recap of what I&#8217;ve been up to. So, here&#8217;s a roundup of what I did in January: January in News The American Library Association released its 2011 best-of lists, and Huntress ...]]></description>

		<title>Writing about lesbians when you&#8217;re not a lesbian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week someone emailed me this question: &#8220;I am writing a short story about a lesbian main character &#8230; and almost had it finished when I had a panic attack. I was at a conference talking about my story when a lesbian told me she would never take it seriously because I wasn&#8217;t a lesbian and ...]]></description>

		<title>The Lesbian Question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A question from a reader: &#8220;Setting aside the tangled web of labels of low, dark, high, heroic, etc. fantasy (or speculative fiction) — do you consider yourself to write &#8216;lesbian&#8217; books, or books that happen to be about lesbians?&#8221; I&#8217;ve been thinking about how to answer this question for some time now. It&#8217;s about categorization, ...]]></description>

Well, today I&#8217;ve decided to share with the world my top 10 sources of inspiration! 10. The 4-Mile Walk to the Frozen Yogurt Shop When people ask me how to ...]]></description>

		<title>Being conscious about gender</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently read a blog post over at Kate Elliott&#8217;s LiveJournal in which she writes about struggling with gender in her novels: I’m a feminist. I’m an athlete. As a child I was what was then called a “tomboy,” which to me means merely that the things I was told were “boy” things, like playing ...]]></description>

		<title>Expectations and 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to write a post about my resolutions for 2012, but I keep coming back to the idea of expectations. What do I (and you) expect for the coming year? A year of virtuous healthful living? The opposite? Or perhaps you expect the apocalypse? (I know, it&#8217;s the wrong apocalypse, but isn&#8217;t that ...]]></description>
