Few Things in Life More Heartwarming

There are few things in life more heartwarming than to be welcomed by a cat ~ Tay Hohoff

How funny!  It's my dad's birthday, he hates cats, and today's quote is about cats. 

My cat, Bandit, nearly always is right in the office while I work on my writing.  It's almost become so normal that if he isn't there I get worried.  Most of the time he's a good kitty and just sleeps on the desk while I write.  Everyone once in a while he does crazy things, like the morning he dumped my coffee cup onto the laptop.  Bad Kitty!!




The other exciting news I have to share is that I entered both manuscripts in a contest sponsored by the Maryland Writer's Association.  It's their Great Beginnings Contest.  They are looking for the first 7000 words of an unpublished manuscript and each entry receives feedback, whether it places or not.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Although it's too late to enter the contest this year, bookmark the web site for next year.  You don't have to be a resident of the state of Maryland or a member to enter.

Other than that, I'll be staying indoors the next few days with the heat in Kansas City over 100 degrees each day.  That's OK, I'm getting plenty of writing done.

Have a great weekend everyone!
