Rest up and let your body heal gently. I hope the uncomfortable part of your recovery passes quickly.

Thinking of you and sending healing thoughts. ✨

I'm glad it's getting taken care of. Sending healing thoughts for a good recovery.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes, You Can Combine Christmas Trees and Cats (Creature Thoughts Nov/Dec ’25) In the USA, Thanksgiving is nearly here. Once that holiday is past (and, in some households, even before), people start thinking about Christmas decorations.

Autocorrect strikes again. 😄

We're hanging in there. 🙃 I hope you're doing well, too

A Visit from the Past; Sept/Oct ’25 Creature Thoughts I was searching in my old Blogger archives this morning, looking for inspiration for this month's newsletter. I actually was searching for something totally different, but happened across the issue I'm quoting below. As I looked at the date, saw the opening lines, my heart nearly stopped. The day after I wrote this ... my mother died.

A Cup of Kawfee Creating characters that readers can relate to is always a fun part of writing. We have so many tools at our disposal to make our heroes and heroines believable. Dialects and regional differences can be a great way to flesh out those characters, and enhance the way they interact with the people around them.
