		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working up a story idea using the snowflake method. Step one is a lot harder than it looks. I&#8217;ve been hammering out similar one sentence summaries and trying to whittle it down bit by bit like a crazed boy scout.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been concentrating on the early parts of Randy Ingermanson&#8217;s Snowflake Method, the one sentence and one paragraph summaries. Earlier last week Randy offered to critique his readers&#8217; sample summaries. Reading these, and Randy&#8217;s insightful responses, has proved to be very educational.
