					<description><![CDATA[One of my several careers over the years has involved real estate sales and service. It’s hard to believe but sixteen years ago, I considered myself an original “April fool” for jumping into the real estate game—one reason related to my love of reviewing open houses when I was a teenager dreaming of what my house ... <a title="Real Estate and My Novels" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2014/localisms/531" aria-label="Read more about Real Estate and My Novels">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’m in shock! I prepared a “to-do” list yesterday, the better to organize both my thoughts and my writing work schedule. That list now exceeds four pages! Have I been laying back lately, playing instead of working? Or am I simply anticipating what I want to accomplish before the holidays and family obligations intervene?

					<description><![CDATA[Someone at a recent writer’s conference reminded me of something that I thought was a personal problem. After the book is finished, I miss talking to my characters, thinking about them, wanting to know more about them, imagining how their life thread will spool out after the story is over. I can’t seem to get ... <a title="My Characters: I Can&#8217;t Let Them Go" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2013/localisms/my-characters-i-cant-let-them-go" aria-label="Read more about My Characters: I Can&#8217;t Let Them Go">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A local writer and friend, Pamela Beason, invited me to participate in this online &#8220;blog-hop.&#8221; This is my first such attempt at this exciting event. I&#8217;ll begin with a few questions I&#8217;m to answer: What is the working title of your book? Granddad&#8217;s House is my sixth independently-published title, and the second in a series set ... <a title="The Next Big Thing" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2013/announcement/the-next-big-thing" aria-label="Read more about The Next Big Thing">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Because I have been interested in what is shown on TV in different CSI shows, I took advantage of an opportunity recently to spend a few days with a crime scene investigator. In a word, what in on television is not at all a true reflection of what happens in the real world. Fiction requires ... <a title="CSI is not as you might think" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2013/adventures/csi-is-not-as-you-might-think" aria-label="Read more about CSI is not as you might think">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What is retirement? Am I now retired? The question arises out of my most recent action, in which I chose—a key word, I think—to stop doing what I had been doing in favor of other work that has occupied only a portion of my waking day, but numerous dream nights for several years.

					<description><![CDATA[My recent trip to Chicago was wonderful for the time it provided to spend with my writing cousin, catching up on all her activities, oohing and ahing over her new e-books and her plans for others.  But it also reminded me that I need to plan better. Someone once said a &#8220;failure to plan = ... <a title="Travel &#8211; the ups and downs of it" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2012/adventures/travel-the-ups-and-downs-of-it" aria-label="Read more about Travel &#8211; the ups and downs of it">Read more</a>]]></description>
