Using Split in Java Objects and Data Structures Course

Wondering what Im doing wrong here. Im splitting on the mDescription field, but not having any luck.

com/example/BlogPost.java
package com.example;

import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost {
  private String mAuthor;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mBody;
  private String mCategory;
  private Date mCreationDate;
  private String mDescription;

  public BlogPost(String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationDate, String description) {
    mAuthor = author;
    mTitle = title;
    mBody = body;
    mCategory = category;
    mCreationDate = creationDate;
    mDescription = description;
  }

  public String getAuthor() {
    return mAuthor;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return mTitle;
  }

  public String getBody() {
    return mBody;
  }

  public String getCategory() {
    return mCategory;
  }

  public Date getCreationDate() {
    return mCreationDate;
  }

  public String getDescription() {
    return mDescription; 
  }

  public String[] getWords() {
   return mDescription.split("\\s+");
  }
}
