Yes, It’s Revision… But Is It DELICIOUS?

Like other folks, lots of writers have pets.

And while it had been a whole lot of years since I had pets, for Christmas my guys got me a cat.

Sheldon.

Very cool cat.

Likes to help. Really likes to help with revision, which is generally not an area where I welcome help.

Here. Let me show you…

Here, have a tissue.

No, don’t have a tissue. I want it.

Wonderful tissue smells delicious.

Tissue is chewy but not tasty.

I claim the pen in the name of ME!

How about the notebook?

Can I lounge on your work?

My pen. Pens are wonderful … but you have them all pinned down, vile human.

So…paper.

Also pinned down.

Could be tasty.

Is definitely chewy.

Is NOT delicious.

If you’re going to yell at me for chewing, I’m going to sulk.

I’m not looking at your stupid revision.

Not looking…

Definitely not looking… (But flicky tail says thinking about looking…)

Oh, GAWD, yummy revision!

Nope. Not looking.

How about you? Have a picture or two of the “help” you get while you’re working?

If you have a photo-sharing service like Flicker (or whatever else is out there — I don’t keep up), post one or two images of your helper helping below.

I’d love to see.
