		<description><![CDATA[Yep, it&#8217;s the November Blog Chain, and this month&#8217;s prompt is to write up a back cover blurb for a book you have written or would like to write. It should be short, sweet, yet give a sense of people and events without totally spoiling the ending.

		<description><![CDATA[Virginia Lee, is running AW&#8217;s Flash Fiction Carnival the Third. The theme is transformation. Death of a Muse by Cath Smith Rusted leaves float on the surface, bobbing up and down like tiny sail boats on wind-blown waves. I watch them from the front porch, wondering how cold the water felt on her skin, and whether the dying leaves remembered. &#8230; <a href="http://www.cathsmith.com/wprs/me-me-me-me-meme/">Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

She said one thing in particular that I&#8217;d like to pick up: &#8220;Each and every person on this planet has a hole, a flaw (at least one!!). &#8221; She&#8217;s not kidding.
