I’m in a tough spot for the last two days. I have a couple of characters who just aren’t “writing well.” I’ve written most of the book, and it’s coming up short. That’s far from saying the book is complete. I have a few characters who are coming across pretty … Continue reading →
Still on track. It’s been a good day, except I caught Pretty Boy Floyd, the little orange kitty who is too small to neuter, last night in a trap. I successfully transferred him to a travel crate this morning, got him to the vet for shots, and brought him back … Continue reading →

I bought a trap this week and borrowed a trap from the vet. We’ve captured three kitties and I estimate I have at least four to go. First, we have Little Orange (eating) and Peaches. Little Orange is a little girl, and Peaches is a boy. I managed to trap … Continue reading →
