Shockingly came first in my round 1 group for @nycmidnight.bsky.social flash fiction despite being forced to write a comedy.
Now round 2 where I'm stuck with the slightly preferable but still very much out of my wheelhouse genre: thriller.
Good luck to anyone else taking part!

The cats now only need a toy as motivation (as opposed to treats which somewhat negate the exercise they get).

We got our cats an exercise wheel to help burn off some energy. They still need a little extra encouragement at the moment though

Currently working on a story for the #GlobeSoup Flashback Fiction Competition and have changed my mind about where exactly the story starts at least ten times already. Apparently juggling two timelines makes me even more indecisive than normal #WritingCommunity

My favourite pictures of the cats always end up being when they're in goblin mode.
The two black cats are sisters (Calliope and Clio) and the two torties are mother and daughter (Polly and Thalia). All as mental as each other.

Spent this afternoon getting into the festive spirit with a wreath making workshop at a local vegan tea room. We're waiting until the storm passes to hang it so the weather doesn't destroy our work (not that we don't trust the sturdiness of our creation or anything 😅).

Pride and Prejudice. Matthew Macfadyen (or Colin Firth) as Mr Darcy being the only human.
Kermit and Miss Piggy are definitely Lizzie's parents. I leave the rest of the casting to the imagination.

It's that time of year where I feel like I should plug this again, an anthology full of festive stories featuring our furry friends. My story features Mr Meowy acting as an inadvertent match maker for two young women away from home for the holidays #WritingCommunity
Hello all! I’m excited to say that my cozy, wholesome story "Leading the Way" — a festive sapphic romance told from the point of view of an adopted pet cat — has been published in Camden Park Press’s "Tidbits & Tinsel Tails" as part of their "Holiday Hijinks" series.
