		<description><![CDATA[As a story teller I've always had trouble staying on track, and so every telling differed, wildly. The King would be an important plot factor in one; in another, hardly a presence at all. Sometimes the ugly sisters got a little sympathy, other times they were irredeemably awful. I would bungle the order of things, assign important actions to the wrong characters, even leave out key plot points.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Freewriting is a form of conscious writing that you do for a specific period of time. It’s not trance writing, you’re very aware of what you’re writing. It’s not presentational writing–it shouldn’t be written as though it will be read by others. It can be sloppy, ugly, incomprehensible, ungrammatical, as elliptical as a grocery list: because no one will ever read it, none of that matters. It has only one rule.
