Y'aaaaaaaaall I'm finally launching a newsletter.

newsletter.bonniequinn.com
An image of the second book of How to Survive Camping: The Lady in Chains with text reading "newsletter sweepstakes Nov. 17th-Nov. 23rd" around it. It is overlaid on a photo of trees in a forest in a slight pinkish hue to match the book cover.

Here's the culprit, considering if "I randjjjjjjjjj" works better than "I ranaldaaiiiiiiiiiiiii"
A dilute tortoiseshell cat stares at a laptop keyboard, considering her next move to getting her entire body draped across it.

For the approval of The League of Enemies to Lovers, I would like to submit "Carrot and Beau." Thank you for your consideration.
An orange and white cat is biting a tan and white dog. The dog's eyes are wide with terror as he stares off into the void. An orange and white cat faces off with a brown and white dog. They are face-to-face, their eyes narrowed. The dog is licking his nose nervously. An orange and white cat lays on a purple sofa with a brown and white dog. The dog is behind the cat, laying on his side, with his legs sticking sideways straight out in the air. He looks smug. The cat is a loaf.

Miranova threatening me to keep writing. She knows where the cat food comes from.
An overweight tortoiseshell tabby cat lays with her head on a laptop keyboard. Her paw is stretched out with the claws extended into the stomach of the person taking the photo. She looks very intense.

Uhhh so author pro-tip I just learned. Don't delete things with tracked changes ON and then do a global find/replace with tracked changes OFF. It, uh, fucks everything up.
A screenshot of a Word document reading "The DancersThe DancersThe DancersThe Dancers“If you knew this would happen,” I snapped, “Then where the hell were you?”" It is not supposed to read like that.

I gave my goat a glow-up.

I have photos related to my actual author type thing but I just really wanted to show off my goat. Maybe tomorrow?
A plastic skeletal goat. The plastic is off-white with black eyes and nose socket. It looks very boring. A plastic goat that has been repainted. The bones have shadows and highlights now, and the eye sockets are reflect no light, so dark that not even your soul can escape their gaze.

"corneal melting" is not a term I wanted to know about, thanks 😔

We're switching up some meds and it's more waiting to see if it works.
A gray tabby cat forcing his head through an opening in a cat carrier like the chest burster from Alien. One eye is cloudy.

I feel like everyone in my neighborhood has a special skill they employ to help everyone else. Surprisingly, mine is not fixing computers.

It's wrangling animals. I am currently helping a very angry Pomeranian adjust to taking eyedrops.
A fluffy Pomeranian sits on the edge of a sofa, staring angelically at the camera with his paws stretched in front of him. An absolute perfect, sweet little child. You may only touch him when he allows it.

I was given this print to paint and I'm trying to decide how to paint it. I think I want to do a real horse color instead of something made up, and while dapple-gray is the obvious choice, I also am leaning toward something with color. What would you pick?
A 3d print of a horse with wings and tentacles coming out of its chest. It looks AWESOME

Mechs? Yes. Serious? Not how we play it.

Future sci-fi setting.

It's been way too long since I've posted a photo of my cat.
A black tabby cat rests in a cat bed. The front half of his body is outside of the bed and laying on a pink penguin pillow. His back half is inside the cat bed which is shaped like a spider and it looks like he is being eaten. He seems very unbothered by this.

Stopped by Powell's Books while visiting Portland today!
A photo of a "New + Recommended" shelf in a bookstore. Many copies of "How to Survive Camping" are visible with an autographed sticker on them.

Found this on one of today's hikes. I love how delightfully weird people are.
A photo of a moss covered end of a fallen tree. there are holes in the log which people have put stones in to make eyes and sticks in to make a mouth and a tongue. the face looks delightfully weird and happy, kind of like a dog sticking its head out of a car window

Tater update. He's active, he's eating well, his respiratory rate is good, but he is definitely blind in one eye. I'll probably find out more when we go to a follow up with the ophthalmologist in another week or so.
A gray tabby and white cat staring politely at the camera with an expression of faint disdain. One eye is significantly darker than the other.

I have decided to sort my @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social palette trios by color this time, which means Taylor Swift is now paired with boudoir cryptids.
A collection of artwork, sorted roughly into two piles. On the left pile is a woman in a green dress with a lime green poodle going up a set of stairs on a peach background. On the right is mothman in heels on a sage green background.

Tater's infected eye isn't glowing on the camera anymore. Odin-cat.
A black and white night vision photo of an outdoor cat enclosure. A black tabby cat is off to one side looking at the camera. Only one eye is glowing bright white.

Beau is READY for The Lady in Chains. (yeah pre-orders are up)
A dog wearing a furry spider costume. His tail is wagging and he's giving the camera some side eye. The spider costume has glowing eyes and the hood looks like it is chewing on his head.

Well, I didn't win anything from the @columbuslibrary.bsky.social summer reading program raffle. However, my dad has secretly been putting all his tickets towards the self-care box so he could give it to my mom and I.

And guess who won the self-care box?

My dad.
A box filled with various stress and relaxation items, such as a book, a mug, a light, shower steamers, stress relief cards, and a blanket.

Tonight we're having a small friends and family get-together and we're working on decorations at the moment.

And cookies. Because if I wrote a whole book that's getting published today I DESERVE COOKIES.
