By Ronel Janse van Vuuren I’ve had an interesting month thus far. Well, “interesting” is putting a positive spin on things. Tony spent a week at the vet’s: he was listless and losing weight for no apparent reason. After numerous tests (mostly to rule out the really scary stuff like cancer), it finally turned outContinue reading “A Positive Spin #writerslife #amreading”

Gratitude and Thanks
Post (c) by Doris McCraw We are coming on my favorite time of year. I am partial to the Holiday of Thanksgiving. It is not a time of giving gifts. It has nothing except the heartfelt idea of being thankful. Despite how horrible we think life is, we really do have many reasons for gratitudeContinue reading “Gratitude and Thanks”
Novel Writing, Book Marketing, Event Planning… Oh My!
This post by Gayle M. Irwin November began with a BANG, and I was JAZZED! I had completed my magazine writing assignments for the year (or nearly so), book events were falling into place, and I had new marketing strategies to employ. Last Friday I secured radio and TV interviews for upcoming events and sentContinue reading “Novel Writing, Book Marketing, Event Planning… Oh My!”
My Name is Leonard
This post by L.Leander, Author of Fearless Fiction My name is Leonard. I am a beautiful, buff male kitten, if I do say so myself. I haven’t had much of a life up until now because my sisters and brothers and I were turned over to the Humane Society. I had to share a bigContinue reading “My Name is Leonard”
The Cat Lady* Writes Again
Posted by Kathy Waller You may say a cat uses good grammar. Well, a cat does — but you let a cat get excited once; you let a cat get to pulling fur with another cat on a shed, nights, and you’ll hear grammar that will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant people think it’sContinue reading “The Cat Lady* Writes Again”
Of J. C. Penney, Robert Redford, and a Return to Civilized Dining
* * * * Posted by Kathy Waller *********************** Writing this post won’t be easy. Sixteen pounds of Ernest lies across my right forearm, pinning it to the arm of the recliner. He’s on his side, positioned so he can turn his head and, with a moonstruck expression, gaze upside-down into my eyes and/or reach across to patContinue reading “Of J. C.

Appreciation

Miles of Memories – Part 1: Four-Footed Friends
This post by Gayle M. Irwin My husband and I recently returned from a nearly 4,000-mile journey through several states as we visited friends and family. The journey brought back many memories as well as reconnections with people I hadn’t seen in many years (more on all that next week). Some of the memories stirredContinue reading “Miles of Memories – Part 1: Four-Footed Friends”
Waffles: Part Deux
This post by Jennifer Flaten When I was pregnant with the twins the doctor put me on bedrest. For almost two months I couldn’t do as much as I wanted, although truthfully as my due date neared, there wasn’t much I wanted to do–except have the dang kids already! Anything to be done with theContinue reading “Waffles: Part Deux”
Sir Waffles and the Broken Leg
This post by Jennifer Flaten There once was a little black kitten, as cute as can be. One day, the kitten, maybe egged on by the older cats, did something foolish and broke his leg. Now, the kittens mom & dad would love to know how the kitten broke his leg but he’s notContinue reading “Sir Waffles and the Broken Leg”
