		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I love bookstores. Well, let me rephrase that, I love what bookstores once were. When I was young, there was a bookstore within a fifteen minute bike ride from my house that was the perfect bookstore. It is the bookstore by which all others are measured in fact. Nestled between a shoe repair shop &#8230; <a href="http://muffymorrigan.com/2012/02/04/the-magic-of-a-bookstore/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; One of my favorite questions to ask writers is “who are your top ten favorite authors”? Before we go further, let me explain, I am not fishing for a compliment, and don’t expect my name on their list—but there is a name I do expect, but rarely hear—their own.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I have touched on the idea of fanfiction many times over the past few years. People outside fandoms don’t really understand fanfiction—in short it is writing a story based on someone else’s characters and set in their universe. That’s a little simplistic, but the basic idea. I have been writing fanfiction since I first &#8230; <a href="http://muffymorrigan.com/2011/12/28/fanfiction-as-a-writers-tool/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The greatest inspiration for writing is life. Everything I turn into words comes from life in some way. The thing, for me, is it is not always obvious where I get the inspiration from. People tend to assume you have to have something huge happen in your life to make it worthy to write about, &#8230; <a href="http://muffymorrigan.com/2011/12/26/writing-inspirations-part-four-life-i/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every writer has doldrums. I’m not talking about writer’s block, that’s a whole other ball of wax. No, I am talking about the doldrums, those times where we just lay stagnant, unable to move. (The term came from sailing and those latitudes where the winds would suddenly fail and the ships would just flounder.)

		<description><![CDATA[Writing Inspiration Part Two: Aware Reading I honestly think that to be any kind of a writer, good or back, fiction or non-fiction—even news, you must first be a reader. It would seem obvious, to write you must read, but I have been surprised by how few writers read beyond the scope of their field. &#8230; <a href="http://muffymorrigan.com/2011/12/05/writing-inspirations-part-two-aware-reading/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I’ve been asked more than once where I find inspiration for my writing. It’s the question I think writers hear the most, and for many it’s the hardest to explain. In the realm of fantasy and science fiction it’s probably even harder, since so much of what we write is outside the pale.
