This is a photo of editing hell.
It’s a page out of my new book.
I am trying to work while I have a cat sleeping on my arm.
The cat, a rescue, will now and then bite me.
I don’t know why he has to do that.

Oh, the excitement in my kitchen this Thanksgiving!
Take a look at the batter for my chocolate silk pie. See anything interesting?
Artist Montana Sister said, “Bird then dancing woman.”
Firefighter Brother said, “An alien escaping from a pancake striving to devour you, Cathy.”
Country Farmer Montana sister said, “A woman wearing a shawl and holding cherry blossom branches.”
Also, I burned the marshmallows.
Rebel Dancing Daughter said, “It’s okay, Mom. It wouldn’t feel like Thanksgiving if there wasn’t smoke in the kitchen.”

There’s smoke billowing out of my oven and into my kitchen which obviously means I’m cooking.
Innocent Husband said to me, waving his hands around in the air, “Ah! Your Thanksgiving tradition begins!”
Now he’s in big trouble.

When I was in Montana this last week, I looked out at the Swan Mountains and a curious deer in the middle of a trail and somehow those mountains and that deer told me – a writer fighting burnout – that I needed to add a little magical realism to the book I’m writing.
I do not argue with the Swan Mountains or deer, so I dropped in a little magic and the burnout faded away a bit…
Sometimes ya just gotta go to Montana so you can think.

If you need a book for summer…
Wishing you lots of time to read and relax!

When I think about whether I want to re-edit my book AGAIN or take out a molar with a hammer, I start thinking about the hammer…

I’m trying to edit my next book but, as usual, the cats aren’t helping at all.
Look at them lounging away, taking naps, while I spend an hour on one blasted sentence..

I’m finding a little spring hope in my garden!
Happy spring, all.
Let’s hope for better, healthier days ahead.
