So, any other writers #onsub waiting to hear back?

Not going to lie, I hate this part of the process.

Just started watching Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency coz I couldn’t be bothered to fight the algorithm anymore and just picked something Netflix recommended.
Now wondering what other gems I’ve missed out on because β€˜I won’t have Netflix tell me what to watch.’

A short fable about a cat written in the author’s Master of Creative Writing Class. The fable reads: There once was a cat who had been left in a box by the roadside.
A kind human found her and gave her a home. At all hours, the cat would meow and lead the human to her bowlβ€”which was never empty. Still, she’d purr and rub against the human’s legs until a few extra morsels were tipped in. Only then would she walk away, without eating, then curl up in a patch of sunlight, and purr. Not hungry. But content. Moral: It is not always need that drives usβ€”it is the memory of going without.

Had to write an animal-inspired fable
in class today…of course I chose a cat.

You are living in my dream, surrounded by a wood full of animals! I am even more in love with Harvey now I know he’s a wild rabbit!
We don’t see many of those here either, they’re classed as an invasive species here so there’s not many about.

Oh my gosh! I love rabbits and Harvey is lovely (Jimmy Stewart movie, right?)
We can’t have pet rabbits here in Queensland, Australia-much to my youngest kid’s outrage so of course she’s obsessed with anything bunny related. I’ll show her Harvey πŸ™‚

First 24 hours on here and this is how it’s looking: Bluesky is full of cat-loving, book-reading, sci-fi nerds who give a shit about our planet and other people…or it’s just got a very good algorithm that’s worked out how to get me to stay. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone πŸ’š

I just KNEW Gallifrey was teleporting to the other side of the world when I couldn’t find her.

Writing routines? I thought we all just screamed into the void, and then began typing as fast as we can before our sanity slips away.

Thanks! If cat pics are popular then it sounds like I’m in the right place.
My cat’s name does raise a few eyebrows, people sometimes think it’s Gaelic but it’s the name of Doctor Who’s home planet πŸ™‚

I’m new here. Not sure how it all works but I’m assuming a photo of my cat Gallifrey is a good place to start?
