Can You Find It?

Can You Find The Eight?

IWSG Wednesday

The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Members post about their doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling.
January 3 IWSG Question: What steps have you taken or plan to take to put a schedule in place for your writing and publishing? As far as my schedule, and I use that term loosely: In the mornings I feed the critters (God forbid that gets skipped!), grab a cup of coffee, turn on CNN and visit my blogger buds. This is a gray area, but I consider blogging part of my writing regime. After lunch: I write. In the evenings I edit and if time allows work on my marketing strategy, which involves a lot of trial and error.  I don't have a publishing schedule. I have some loose goals that if stretched out I almost meet:)  What about you? If you write or craft do you have a schedule?My latest finished project:

The Last Jedi

I loved The Force Awakens and enjoyed The Last Jedi just as much. It was two hours and thirty minutes of sci-fi/fantasy punch-packed action. If you're a Star Wars fan, I trust you'll appreciate it as much as I did.  Even without Harrison Ford, on a one to ten, I give it a ten without popcorn.  With popcorn, a solid eleven.

Wacky Wednesday

War Games Between Primates

No, this is not a political or military post.  These war games are played between man, the highly developed, intelligent species.
.
And the canny feline with his finely-tuned senses.
Most of you reading this post know that we have a cat fence up so the felines can enjoy the outdoors.
The two seniors have never stepped outside of it, except when the gate has been left open while loading and unloading items and Captain has stuck his inquisitive nose outside his safe zone then scurried back in.
Then we rescued FrankenMonster who's been seduced by the siren call of birds on the other side of the fence. He started out digging his way under the fence, until the HH filled in all his holes. Next he undertook to find the weak points in the fence and scoot on out. The first couple of times this happened I was frantic. We'd get him back in and try to figure out where he'd done his escape act.  I finally figured out if I called him, he'd hop back up the fence and scurry around to the weak point and drop back in, at which time, the HH  armed with his trusty stapler and ties would strengthen the  weak links.
So far...
Holes filled in.  Weak links fixed. And since we haven't had a breakout in a couple of weeks, man is temporarily winning the war games.

O Christmas Tree

After putting up Frosty, the next step was the Christmas tree. Below is the tree topper and ornaments collected over the years, some new, some old. As you can see, there is no theme....though, if there were it would probably be cats.
This one is hard to see. It's a Christmas Tree my son made in grade school with his picture on it.

The Weekend Starts Now

My Christmas Cactus is ready for the holidays.
