Feline Follies, part endless

One bad habit that Boomer does not have, that his older sister does:

the need, nay the obligation to find whatever pile of papers mom is absolutely working with Right This Moment and drop herself down on them.

Manuscript. Tax forms. Receipts. Newspaper. She don't care. It's all proper bedding, to her.



Then again, Pandora hasn't broken anything yet in this bad habit. So she's still currently the winner in the "good child" sweepstakes...

The Writing Life: a thoughtworthy thought

"Anyway, one of the nicest things about the writing racket is that if you write one great thing, you are, at that moment and forever, a great writer. You may later become a great writer who also wrote a ton of crap, or a great writer who is morally appalling, or any number of other things, but write one great thing, and you're a great writer. And you get your whole life to do it. " -- John Barnes
