(If you've read the title, you probably know where this is going.)
When she came out into the loungeroom, she was starving - and A LOT thinner.
Being naturally suspicious of girls who spend all night out with their boyfriends and then spend the subsequent months getting plumper and plumper, I went around the house to have a look-see and, sure enough, there were KITTENS in my bedroom cupboard!!

Squeee!! ^_^
I love babies of all kinds, and these ones are beautiful! I am now the proud grandma of four kittens. I gave Mum lots of pats and hand fed her some chicken curry until she let me have a look at them. She was happy to let me have a squiz, even nosing them over in my direction so I could see them better. She'd lost one already, but the other four are going strong.
I went and tried to write afterwards, but I had two problems:
1) I was too excited about kittens; and
2) I HATED my novel.
I spent most of NaNo writing my YA Sci-Fi, but as I'd finished the first draft (Booyah! Did I mention that??) I went back to my Regency Romance.
I couldn't do it. I hated all of it - the characters, the plot, even the setting.
So I've been stuck for the last two days. Tonight I really actually have to DO something, but I don't know whether to keep soldiering on with this or start afresh on something else.
Suggestions welcome!

Keep writing over the hate? The loathings and doubts hit me around chapter 13 every time . . . but by chapter 15, everything moves much easier.
ReplyDeleteOr you could set it aside for the moment and help me figure out how I can get my hands on one of those kittens . . . XD
Done! It's been set aside and I've bought an express post envelope that looks like it might fit a smallish kitty ^_^
