Got Distracted by Pussies

Yes, I said Pussies, as in multiple cats.  We adopted Ninja last Sunday and took her to the vet yesterday. 


She is officially ours, by God!  On Friday, in the middle of my tamale-making party, Aaron brought a second cat home:  A Girl.  Simona dubbed her that, even though I still want to call her Assassin.  (Read more.)

A New Character Comes to Town—Ninja


Meet Ninja!  She is our new fur-family member. (We are really dog people for the record, but she is amazing.)

Last Sunday, we bought her from the neighbor who was going to get rid of her.  Ninja kept coming over to our house for attention, and the kids got attached to her.  She is a wonderful addition, and now, we are looking to get her a sister.

I find it fascinating that a new element can add so much to our lives.  Think about that for your plots.

Well, I have to grade, but this morning, I hope to get done in time for me to write a few more pages of The Harvest.  This weekend, I want to devote a good amount of time to writing more of my novel and revising my short story collection.  I also have to nudge my friend, Marcy Rae Henry, to finish the cover of my long short story "La Bruja del Barrio Loco" which is posted in the Antojitos section of my author site.  We have bounced ideas around about the cover, and I hope she will give it some time, so I can post the story in time for the holidays.

Spread some love.  #Resist
