		<title>Reading and Scheming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I read some rather dry material for one of my grad school classes, I have Scurvytown in the back of my mind. Mostly, this is a nagging guilt because I didn&#8217;t produce any new content this week, other than a snippet of skip week writing that I think will definitely hook people into reading [...]]]></description>

		<title>Migraines and Episodic Fiction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s episode of Scurvytown shall be known as the one I wrote while in the throes of a migraine so bad that I spent three hours curled up in a ball sobbing on and off. Oh well, everyone should suffer at least a little for their art, right? Migraines are hideous creatures. Sometimes, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finger Puppets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First of all, on the forefront of my mind is a serious bundle of nerves for grad school. That is what I am blaming this morning&#8217;s heartburn on. Because seriously? All I had to eat yesterday in the solid food realm was an egg white omelet and salads. Anyway, it will probably all be fine. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Songwriting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, there&#8217;s a lot of awesome in the air lately, and one of the awesome things going on in Cincinnati is Play Me, I&#8217;m Yours. It makes me wish I knew anything on a piano. So I have been watching some total dork&#8217;s &#8220;How to Play Piano&#8221; on youtube, and it&#8217;s actually pretty fun, partially [...]]]></description>

		<title>Story Arcs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went with some friends to the Goetta fest in Newport, KY this afternoon. (And Mom, if you&#8217;re reading this, tell Papa I saw a Goetta vending machine, and that I would have snapped a photo for him, but there was a line in front of it so I couldn&#8217;t get a clear shot.) It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maintaining Focus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I have an idea to focus on for this week&#8217;s episode, I find my next hurdle: keeping that focus and building something constructive and fun to read out of it. Right now, I am painfully stuck. I stare at the screen, the words written so far, and I cannot seem to focus my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Focused</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the toughest things about getting started on each week&#8217;s new episode of Scurvytown is finding the time and the mentality to write after another long and crappy day&#8217;s work. Right when I was getting to the super frustrated point where I just sort of force myself to write, I came up with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>All that Jazz Festival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update on the Jazz Festival performance, at Coffee Emporium downtown (artwork and poetry on the walls there for the next month, I believe). It went really well, which was surprising to me. I was barely prepared, though I practiced many times for a recitation (a reading, not a performance, as I&#8217;d written waaaaay too many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jazz Festival Happenstance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I dropped out of the Jazz Festival performance thing. Or so I thought. I went to go hang out at my parents&#8217; house on Wednesday, to eat some food that was definitely not good for me, go swimming, and enjoy my parents&#8217; company, which I honestly do. My dad told me some funny stories [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friend Face!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, so Scurvytown now has a facebook page. Right here. Yesterday, I not only created that page (since I spent most of the week slacking on writing), but I also wrote a small letter from Captain Tullis as filler for the skip week. It was pretty funny, and it started out with a purposeful misspelling. [...]]]></description>
