Bonfire of the Vani-kitties and NaNo alternative!

Bloggie friends!

Yes I know I said I'd not be posting but just wanted to say:

Happy Bonfire/Guy Fawkes Night!

And here is a groovy competition for all those finding the NaNo thing (writing a 50,000 word novel in a month) daunting - a mini-NaNo writing competition!

Write a 900 word story in the month of November - that's just 30 words a day! Entry is free and the prize is a publication on the website. Details here.

Charlie says: I command this little tyke to stay down!


I may not be commenting so much this week - but I'll try to keep up nonetheless!

Mr Bond, here I come!

I'm glad Charlie is letting Gumtree know who is boss around the house :)

I'm not doing nano but that alternative sounds like a maybe. Thanks!

Mark said...

That does sound like a fancy little competition, maybe I'll take a look :) Have a happy bonfire night yourself and I hope the cats are fine.

That is a lot of words, I don't thin I know that many! Howdy boys!

klahanie said...

Ah yes, Happy Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night on Monday, November 5. I would kindly ask that the humans in Britain be responsible with fireworks and ideally go to a safe, controlled public fireworks display.

Many of us animals tremble with fear because of the bright lights and loud bangs!

Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! xx

We're looking forward to seeing Skyfall too. Bond movies and books will be around for generations to come. Maybe one day he'll have a wormhole to use as one of his gadgets.

Pasha's Mommy said...

Glad to see Charlie is ruling over the little monster :)

Helena said...

I'm so unorganized these days, 30 words a day would be a challenge. Pathetic of me. But at least I'm back to editing one of my two manuscripts.

Looks like Charlie and Gumdrop are really getting along -- that's so great!

The Furries of Whisppy said...

We're so happy to see Charlie and the baby getting along!

Fuzzy Tales said...

Poor Charlie. LOL. They look okay there...maybe exhausted from tussling. :-)

Have a great week, all of you.

Anonymous said...

I don't think the little one will stay down.

That's a doable goal and competition.

Hannah and Lucy said...

It seems Charlie and the "little Tyke" are getting on well. Hope your writing goes well Jenn.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

I think Charlie likes his new roommate more than he lets on :)

Can't wait to see Skyfall!

Enjoy the bonfires!

Patsy said...

Wish I'd seen that before I signed up for NaNo - it looks much more sensible.

cleemckenzie said...

Here's to Guy Fawkes! Keep those bonfires burning, Charlie.

That tabby is just testing it's adolescent paws out on you. Stay strong.

Happy Bonfire Night to you too! We kept our kitties in from early on today and I'm glad we did because it's been loud round here. The kitties are not amused!

Lydia Kang said...

I never, ever get tired of seeing your ol' kitties.

Now that looks like a good idea, Charlie, keeping that "little man down". He's a little cutie, just like you.

Awww...I'd completely forgotten The Guy Fawlkes night. No wonder there were firecrackers.

And my four kitties kept running around to hide.

I'm one of the nuts doing the nano nuttiness! We are crazy :)

Looks like Charlie's getting the feel of being in charge!

Thirty words a day is very do able. Of course then you have to edit the darn thing.

Hope you enjoyed Guy Fawkes night! :D

Your two boys look like best friends now..at least I hope so! :)
