This is very important journalism. Big kitty soft.

Pinky is now *very* nicely bruised, but definitely not broken. A little stiff from the splint but ice and anti-inflammatories have done their jobs. I'll be right as rain in a couple of days.

I have either sprained or very lightly broken my right pinky finger. I think it's a sprain. Hurts, but not agony. But most frustrating, hard to type with pinky in a splint.

I did not have to steal the little black cat. We spoke with the neighbor and "take her if you want her". Welcome to the clowder, Vanna White Whisker.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

Fun fact about "Don Quixote," first published on this day in 1605: The publisher, not anticipating its popularity, secured publication rights only for Spain's Castile region. Pirated editions appeared in Valencia & Lisbon within months! The Library has copies of both the original & pirated editions.

A neighbor a few houses down has a wee black cat who doesn't want to live there. She wants to live at MY house. Bad enough that she would rather sit in my carport in 25 degrees than go home. The temptation is *so strong*. But I will not, cannot, steal someone's cat. No matter how much I want to. :\

People always say "my cat is weird" as if that isn't like saying "my water is wet".

Wolf Moon 🌕

Happy New Year to everyone! I have officially consumed a bite of hot dog (pork) and a bite of sauerkraut to satisfy my mom's superstition/tradition. My resolution is to spoil cats. XD

H) As I said above, execution is all. Start with a prologue if you want, start with a dream if you want. Sprinkle your story with footnotes, yank that god out of the machine, put some tinsel on your squid and place it proudly on the mantelpiece, whatever. Just aim to do it as well as you can.

*rubs my nose* okay, let’s try to explain this one more time. Think of your book like a food item, and AI like nuts. « Nuts free » would be you being 100% sure no AI even looked in the direction of your manuscript 🧵

Beware the Yule Cat! In Icelandic folklore, Jólakötturinn, is a giant cat who prowls the longest winter nights, hunting those who didn’t receive new clothes before Christmas. So… here’s hoping socks are under the tree. 🧦🐈‍⬛ Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! #HappyHolidays #YuleCat #Jólakötturinn

One of the recurring arguments I see made is “Writing is the best part! If you don’t like writing, don’t be a writer!” Sometimes it is! Sometimes it’s pure unadulterated glee! And sometimes I clean my house and repot my cactus to avoid it!

It's Day 19 of our advent calendar and we remember helium balloons of unicorns that are no longer with us. *Cue solemn festive music* For those of you who are wondering what on earth we are gibbering on about, we are celebrating our one and only time we went viral (on the other place)... 1/2
