Okay, sound off. Who would want a class where they teach how to treat cats. And you just sit and pet cats the whole time and learn how to approach them and what scritches they like and how best to get them to chase a toy mouse

A reminder that writing books is hard, and if you find it difficult, it’s not because you’re bad at it, it’s because it’s hard.

All cats are one of the Disney princesses, I don't make the rules. We have an Ariel (rebellious, wants to go out in The World) and an Aurora (just wants to sleep all day).

Have discovered that most any dramatic musical number will work to transcribe what I believe my cat is saying when I leave the house
"Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" (Phantom)
"Do You Hear the People Sing" (Les Mis)
"You'll Be Back" (Hamilton)
"Ruthlessness" (Epic the Musical)

Questions my husband has asked this week that are grounds for divorce:
"Wait, why are you editing your book again? Didn't you just finish that?"
"When will the book be ready to publish?"
"Are you excited to finally let other people read it?"
"Did you finish the other books yet?"
