		<description><![CDATA[
Common wisdom dictates 'two heads are better than one'. Working with someone has many pros: you can do less of the work, having someone else invest in your work takes away a lot of loneliness, and with a co-author, there's a chance you won't both get writer's block at the same time.

		<description><![CDATA[If William Shakespeare were alive today he might say, “If apps be the food of creative inspiration…download them”!

I might be mucking up words from one of the best know writers on the planet, but I’m just having a little fun with words. As a writer, it’s our obligation to have fun with words—when we write, scribble down inspired plot lines, and even record a few words of inspiration for that next best-selling novel.]]></description>

However, when you start to apply qualifiers such as "funny" in front of the words "comedy script," then the difficulty level obviously increases to the point that it can be very hard.]]></description>
