When would I go back to?
If I had the use of your time machine, I’d go back to meet the first domesticated kitties.
Matt asked: If I lent you my time machine for a quick joyride, where and when would you go?

Writer Talk Carnival: Writing Tools & Style
This post is for Writer Talk Carnival #1.
Are you a Pantser or a Planner?
I try to plan. Truly, I do. When pen meets plot, all that goes out the window. My writing style is a kitten stuck in a tree.
What do you write with?
I have an old, dusty Windows PC. I will get a new one any decade now. I have an ancient Student Edition of MS Word.
If you plan or track your story, what do you use?
Spreadsheets, mood boards, printouts, timelines… it is a whole arts and crafts adventure.
Where and when do you like to write?
My PC is in the spare bedroom where my cats like to sleep.
Gathering and storing ideas
I am a visual person. I take photos, find photos, do drawings, and paint. My efforts do not always become stories that get written, but they all live in my heart forever.
I hope you enjoyed reading this.
A dream
Tell us about a dream you had. File it under #DreamLog
A few weeks ago, I dreamed that a wizard turned me into a cat. I got chased by a big dog. I was saved by a nice old lady who fed me cake and fizzy orange. She knitted a cute little red cape for me to wear, which gave me the power of flight.
I was so disappointed when I woke up.
My marketing slogan
Open Mentions asked, If you were a product, what would the marketing slogan for you be?

My similes
Matt challenged us to complete this sentence: As unmotivated as…
As unmotivated as…
… a kitty in clean laundry.
… a DOGE team member asked to do actual accounting work.
… a man, going through his twelfth divorce, answering questions about the benefits of child support payments.
… a cat taking medication
… an author with writers’ block
A cat.
The animal I am today is a sleepy old house cat. Probably ginger.
My 2025 Goals and Hopes
OpenMentions asked about New Year’s Resolutions. These are mine:
- Start fostering cats – I know I have many already but there are many cats in need of love while they find their forever homes. There is enough kitty love to go around.
- Swear less.
- Save more.
- Own less stuff – make more room for things that matter.
- Go for more walks.
- Cook healthier meals.
- Be a better friend.
- Eat less meat – just for health and wellness reasons.
- Go to bed at a reasonable time. (Oops)
