Working, Thoughtful Discourse, and WHO KILLED FRED?
Happy bitterly-cold Monday! Woweee it is cold here this morning. -22º!!!
Last Friday I handed in my revision of See You at Harry's so today is a new day and I'm going to try to step back into my 3/4-written ms. I only have a week to work on it before I my freelance work arrives, so I'm hoping to get busy. Who's with me?
In other news, yesterday was a strange and thoughtful day. I noted on Facebook that I found it frustrating when people give books bad ratings because of content, not quality. Specifically, because the book has a gay character. There were a lot of thoughtful comments there, and it made me grateful. It's hard not to simply get angry and lash out with cruel words when these things happen. When not only do you feel wronged, but you feel that a whole group of people have been wronged (again). But everyone was polite and shared some great points. I was able to look at both sides in a new and (I think) more open-minded way. If you were part of that discussion, thank you. I learned a lot.

Monday Morning Warm-Up:
I posted this photo I took of our drama-cat Fred last night on Twitter and Facebook and people had some really funny comments about what Fred's demise had been (I thought it was Ms. Peacock, in the living room, with the fire poker). For today's Monday Morning Warm-Up, give it a try! Who killed Fred? What's the story?
