start of july goals recap: take that, mid-may!

Rewrite (at least) one of my novels.
Well, I didn't get it done in June, but I have been working on rewriting Clockwork. I polished my first scene up nicely before realizing I should probably be editing for story before doing line edits. So I'm in the process of summarizing all my chapters and scenes on notecards to try and get an idea of the shape of the story. It's hard because the only way to get better at rewriting is more rewriting, which you don't have a clue how to do unless you've done some rewriting. . . .

Willow Kitteh

Hmm, I've been updating fairly often. Does that mean I should change the name? Nah, I think I'll leave it as a precaution against later inevitable non-posting.

Today, I was in a relationship for four hours, but I'm not going to post about that here, so instead I'll talk about my kitten Willow. I'm trying to leash train her, which is going pretty well; she comes to my writing group every Thursday and gets passed around and loved, which since she loves being the center of attention, she's fine with. She doesn't like the car as much, because she feels secure while on my shoulders and she can't sit there very easily if I sit in the front seat, but if I sit in the back she can perch on the back of the seat and balance against the back of my neck. She's very cute like that, and she likes to watch the cars around us. I have to wonder what the people in the other cars think when they see her. You just don't see cats on leashes very often.

Hmm, that was not very interesting. Maybe some pictures of her would improve this post:
