Kitten Update

The kitten drought continues. (Objectively, this is a good thing, because kitten season should not extend through freaking December and the shelter doesn't have the budget for this, but it still makes it very quiet in the house.)


Famous

I was quoted in an article today — Indie Author Magazine, no less. But before you get too excited about my career taking a huge leap forward, I should mention that the person who wrote the article is one of my critique partners, so it's not like a total stranger sought me out for my expertise.

And let's just say that's a good thing, because here is the first quotation by me in the article:

“Vellum is idiot-proof, and that’s what I needed,” says T.M. Baumgartner, a Speculative Fiction author.

This is very much the truth, but also, it does not make me sound like a genius. Oh well.

Pet Picture of the Day

The stand-off between former foster Sabrett (1 pound) and Georgie (65 pounds). Sabrett won because Georgie refused to come into the room.



Accomplishments of the Day

  • Wrote an episode of the dragon serial (1500 words). I'll re-read it tomorrow morning and upload it to Kindle Vella.
  • Figured out some plot stuff in the WIP — how one character's betrayal will be revealed and how another character accidentally contributes.
  • Yesterday's total step count: 9,142. Not great, but I refuse to be obsessive about this. Today's will be half again as much.

  1. Georgie! He's welcome to come hang out with us, only I fear Pandi would take up where the kitten left off.

  2. He lived with a little dog, so they don't bother him much. But kittens are his nemeses!
