Kate, OMG I would so do the same carriage-wise. Are we really that weak in mind? (YES.) Awww @ stay-a-kitten-forever hehe. If only :D Oh well, cats are great too! And that is why they deserve a whole post. And a whole comment LOL. <3333

Just wanted to let you know this post totally made my day. Hilarious. I loooovvvvveeeeee kittens (and cats, for that matter). Seriously, if you were to dangle a kitten in front of my nose like a carrot, I would pull a carriage in my attempts to get to it.

Okay, looking back that's probably not the best metaphor....let's just say I love kittens. When I was little I would ask for a kitten-that-would-stay-a-kitten-forever every year on my Christmas list. Your pictures make me want to dance/say AWWWWWWW/go to the pound right now and buy a cute little bundle of fur to call my own.

Yeah. Now I'm basically just writing a rather long post about cats. You and I, I think we have a lot in common :)

Grace - How sweet! <33 Thank you and so glad to help! :)

Claire - OMG. I heart you times 9q28398. Yes. 9 Q 2 8 3 9 8!! :D

Steph - Oooh, how fun! Well, for your writing, not so much for your plans to get to places on time ;) Yay for kitten-resultant smiles!

Raven - I will mail one to you. Be excited... hehe! & that is definitely a start! Good luck with this new WIP girl <33!

Tabitha - Eee, querying! So much good to luck to you! That's great that you're writing, too. & Thanks! <3

Monica - HAY girl! :D Oh man, when I saw that first pic I think my heart melted a little. (A trip to the hospital came soon after.) Hope things are going well! <33

And now I need to go get me a kitten :)

I am currently querying one book and writing the next.

all the best with your writing.

Hehe, great post Emilia!

Now I want a kitten!

I recently trunked one novel, only to start working on another. It's contemporary and I hope that I can actually go somewhere with it. I have a few paragraphs written...not much, but it's a start. :D

This post. It made me smile. There is ALWAYS an excuse to spam pictures of cute kitties =)

I'm rewriting my WIP. I'm liking it. And my MC likes to speak to me at inconvenient times, like when I'm in class or on the bus (which is only inconvenient when I'm so busy listening to her that I forget to get off the bus).

Oh, Emilia. How I love thee! This was wonderful, a...

2011-01-31T23:01:50.016-05:00

Oh, Emilia. How I love thee! This was wonderful, and so true (although I have to say I am a dog person GASP). Currently, I'm between Steps 1 and 2 with my latest WIP. Me and WIPpy are getting our first looks at each other. She's sniffing the fresh new toys I just bought her. I'm smiling at her and also a little terrified. My god, I forgot about my beautiful lace bedspread. Oh, and there she goes, zipping around the room and all over the furniture like a crazy person ahhhhh!! Must--impose--structure! WHERE'S MY OUTLINE?!?

P.S. i heart youuuuuu

Renae - So glad to be of service! <33

Kara - IT IS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL DOLLOP OF WONDER.

Tracey - hehehe... unless you want to get into a horror movie :D (what am I saying? bad Emilia, bad!!)

Stina - Aww *hugs*! ): I can't imagine. Re: sofa... they sure put love into their destruction, gotta give them that :)

Sarah - It is always worth it. Even if it's just your addled brain convincing that it is. hehe! <3

Pam - Love the coin flipping idea! There's nothing like fate to decide things... and of course, there's that moment when the coin's about to land and you know what you ~want~ it to be. Mega good luck with whichever one you choose! <3

Kirsten - I adore YOU and your youness. Yup.

Lindsay & Gracie - They're impossible not to love. & thank you so much! :)

how I love you and your metaphors.

I'm laughing at this so hard because my cats are the antithesis of writing.

2011-01-31T10:24:15.081-05:00

Lol, great comparison. Right now, I'm debating between finishing the first draft of one story, or starting a fresh idea that won't leave me alone. They're both contemporary YA pieces--maybe I should just flip a coin. :)

Great advice. and the kitten pics = awwww.

2011-01-31T09:54:41.827-05:00

I love this: "Because as little WIPpy grows and learns how fun it is to mutilate furniture, you may become frustrated and wonder what you got yourself into. It'll all be worth it, of course! (Right? Right.)" And of course, the KITTENS!

Step 5: cry when it shreds your sofa to pieces.

Step 6: realize kittie has right idea and invite her to be your crit partner.

I had a kitten years ago. You don't want to know what happened to it. But let's just say there was some jealousy issues when a real baby joined the family and he ran away from home (the cat not the baby).

2011-01-31T08:33:54.408-05:00

I'm in the middle of revising my WIP. Which I guess is like disemboweling my kitten and gluing it back together. Hmm, I guess the analogy doesn't work for revisions.

Okay that first kitten picture...OMG!

Great advice-love the comparison to kittens. I am smack dab in the middle of a new WIP so this was perfect!
