I keep saying the same thing, day after day, without being able to announce that the book I am writing has come to an actual end. Yes, there are are only a few more pages to write on ‘The Goddess’, no, I haven’t hit the end of those yet. Even the bratz are getting frustrated. They want someone to hold them, cuddle them, play with them, during the daylight hours. As they are not getting this from me, they will make my night hours a challenge. Sorry kitties, but I have priorities. You are fed and taken care of, you do get cuddles, not long ones, during the day. Suck it up. Today I finish this manuscript. I have about 6 pages to write.
Granted, I also have paperwork to take care of, as this is a day when there is always safeties to do. It doesn’t take that long, but it still takes time. When I have finished, I will have over 4 chapters to type out, maybe over 5, but you get the idea. I have typed out right up to chapter 37, I am writing on chapter 40, have to write chapter 41, and 2 small chapters thereafter. Never mind, you see what I mean by it never ends, and I think I have reason to believe that this book will brush the 100,000 word mark.
Tath, especially has been a pita lately. He is too warm under the blanket, too cold on top the blanket. He wants Thena to be in her place, but she is not allowed to have a length of fur in his area, or he will wail on her. Thena is not about to put up with his attitude for long. She has ripped him open once, she will do it again. I thought he was giving her a difficult time with the way she was screaming when he went on the attack sometimes, snort. He just thinks he is boss. (granted, she knows when to back off, and she knows who to come for if she needs protection).
This upcoming week I intend to type out the manuscript for ‘The Goddess’, which should take a day, and then rework the entire thing. By the end of the week I am hoping to have it in the editing pile. (Please, don’t quote me. With the way things are going, I could be saying this all over again.)
It is spring, and Thena is really restless. She would love to get out there, but again, there are reasons to keep her in, because there are others who would love to see her in their territory. She might be a feisty little feline, but those hunting birds like a challenge as much as anyone else, and so does that little weasel that decided to move next to the house and burrow in during the winter. (Yes, he/she is a cute little dickens, but dangerous for one dainty looking Siamese kitty that thinks she can take on the world.
As this was April 1st, I was tempted to say that the manuscript was finished and that I had begun the first chapter of ‘The Princess’, before yelling APRIL FOOL. But I decided I couldn’t be so cruel. Playing a trick on the bros at some point would be another matter.
Well I hear the sound of something shifting in the other room, and as Thena ran through this room only moments ago, it is time to go check on this. Who knows what I will find. As ever, stay well and enjoy the springtime weather. Until next week, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do… Yes, April Fool…
