		<description><![CDATA[Amanda Ripley published an informative article in the 19 April issue of Time Magazine describing a controversial experiment of offering children cash incentives for high performance in school. Many educators objected to the cash awards because they felt strongly that children should study for the love of learning, not for the promise of a cash [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One essential key to a productive journey through prison—and I suspect through life—is creativity.  Through creativity, the mind is challenged to read the world, to evaluate strength and weaknesses, and to focus energy on adding some kind of value.  Some people find creative outlets like drawing or music, but for me writing has always helped.  Currently I [...]]]></description>

Carol has been editing my newest manuscript, Earning Freedom, and the suggestions she is making will help me strengthen the work. I value her outside perspective. The reason Carol&#8217;s comments matter so much to me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another prisoner who serves time with me at Taft Camp asked me what it has been like to spend so many years in prison. That’s a question I can’t answer easily, and it’s the reason I keep writing books and articles on the subject. To describe 22 years in prison is going to become a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This manuscript I’m writing for Earning Freedom may require a higher word count than I originally anticipated. When I first wrote the proposal, I thought I could tell the story in 110,000 words. That would have translated into a book of 300 pages. After writing the first two sample chapters, I revised the proposal upward [...]]]></description>

Next week, I expect that Carole will submit my proposal along with three sample chapters to my agent. While he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An acquaintance of mine, here at Taft Camp, asked me the significance of keeping this prison journal. He thought prison was something a prisoner should try to forget about, not memorialize by writing about the drudgery each day. For me, keeping a journal represents a willful act, I told him.  It is part of this [...]]]></description>

When I write &#8220;Chapter Six,&#8221; I know that I mislead readers, as that doesn&#8217;t sound as if I&#8217;ve written much. but I began page 238 this morning, and by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In writing Earning Freedom, this memoir of a journey through prison that has lasted 22 years so far, it is important to tell my wife, Carole, how much I love her.  The reason telling her I love her is crucial is because I&#8217;m writing this story chronologically, as I lived it. That means I&#8217;m writing [...]]]></description>
