Creatives have a reputation for self-destructing, suffering, starving, succumbing to various illnesses and addictions… How much of this is self-fulfilling prophecy, how much is sensationalism and cultural influence, and how much is it the nature of being a writer, poet, artist, musician, or other creative?

Operation Rescue Singas

kitties
December 24, 2014

Or how I became a six cat household on Christmas Eve. For the last seven weeks, I’ve been keeping an eye on a pair of singapuras put up on RescueMe.org. A pair of girls had been willed to a doctor who already had pets. They tried for seven weeks to integrate the kitties and it didn’t work.

And suddenly, we had Operation Rescue Singas, the cutest escort mission ever. We drove 540 miles roundtrip in about 11.5 hours (holiday traffic) to pick these little loves up.

Writer Advice

As I always say, being your own boss means you choose with 70 hours of the week you work. None of this talks about the random pub IMs, time doing research, time reading books for blurbs, introductions, and reviews, or short author questions. It doesn’t cover my pays-the-bills work either.

Wrote 668 words on Chimera Incarnate 7. 2014.09.02 Answered pub industry email. AIP Blog post. Freelancer Summary blog post. Quarterly tax payment....
