It&#8217;s taken from an interview with the author Austin Kleon, who wrote Steal Like an Artist. I had to steal his ideas, and then rewrite them to make them my own.

		<description><![CDATA[Dogs are very social creatures, and they put their remarkable sense of smell to great use. The way they gather information from sniffing is their form of social networking.

Here are some excerpts (and rewrites) from an article that appeared on copyblogger. Mad Men Made Writers Sexy Again The main character of the series is a creative genius.

		<description><![CDATA[Stuffed toys are to my dog like chocolate is to some people. When she knows it&#8217;s somewhere near, she has to have it. And once it&#8217;s in her mouth, she has to destroy it. Like a typical golden retriever, Tasha first holds a stuffed toy with a &#8220;soft mouth.&#8221; This breed usually holds their prey tightly, [...]]]></description>
