Authors need to eat to keep their strength up. 😋 Who’s doing #nanowrimo with me this year? 🧡🍁 So excited to begin my unintentional #memoir with #parlezcat. 🐈 Up at 5 a.m. and write for 90 minutes each day no matter what. For the month of November. (nanowrimo.org) I usually do around #1000words an hour so at the end of the 30 days I will have my first draft. Crappy or otherwise it will be a lovelyblump of clay from which to further sculpt this story of ours. 🤗🌟💛 #earlytobed (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4TWtftFWWx/?igshid=1nx91u5gz1xck

Under the kitchen window. Inspiration to create Parlez Cat’s picture book. Every little symbol is a loving nudge for me to keep my attention on this project... No matter how many jobs and have to’s gotta do’s need to’s I have clamoring for my attention. Symbols are potent. 🧡 #parlezcat #project #projectdevelopment #heartprojects #mysojournal #feedyourcreativity #feedyoursoul #parlezcatbooks (at Santa Fe, New Mexico)

Magic happens while I wait for my car to be serviced. I’m reading a book called Homer’s Odyssey, about a cat who became blind at two weeks old. I began reading it to inspire me to create a yearned-for picture book project about the adventures of Parlez Beaucoups, a four-legged who found me in the middle of the woods and became my wild and wonderful companion. Last eve I finally opened the folder of hundreds of photos of this joyous creature, using Lightroom for, pretty much, the first time. I was moved. I was inspired. And I was completely overwhelmed. This project has been 9 years on my back burner and it’s calling me now to bring it to life. After all the photo books I’ve designed for others it’s time to create one for me. To share. I’m excited. And feeling more than a little daunted. Then... a gift. Celestial Seasons sends me a message this morning from Homer: And what she greatly thought, she nobly dared. Thank you, Homer. Onward :) #homersodyssey #magic #trust #homer #cat #catbook #intheflow #creativespirit #mysojournal #spiritadventurer #parlezcat ❤️ (at The Pantry Restaurant)

The simple act of understanding what Mama is saying as I perch up here on top of a post that seems to have been put against the side of the house for no good reason. 😊 #watercolor #catlover #parlezcat #catsofinstagram (at Santa Fe, New Mexico)
