While Charlie did this all weekend when spring finally sprung and we basked in a mini-heatwave...
... I wrote one short story and submitted here. Thanks to amazing Patsy and Madeleine for the heads up to this writerly opportunity.
Wish me luck!
And big yay for Patsy - her debut romance novel Escape to the Country will be out on 30th March! You can read the first chapter here - you won't be disappointed - there's a cow called Rosemary, a dishy tractor driver and lovely lonesome Leah looking for love. :-)
Have a great week everyone!

Good for you, Kitty! Patsy is always posting links for short story submissions. And her book will be out later this week.
Don't wake sleeping kitties...
Good luck to you Kitty! I'm sending big thoughts of favor and success your way riiiiiiiiiiiiight ............. now!
Hi Old Kitty and the lovable, shy and unassuming Charlie,
And I've heard the heatwave is going to last a bit longer. Why do we call it a heatwave? And why is it called a 'cold snap'? Why not a 'heatsnap' and a 'cold wave'?
I shall go and check out your short story cause I'm such a nice guy and you are such an um talented cat!:)
And another big yay for Patsy. I'm wishing her well with her um 'moooving' romance novel :)
See you and your bloggie friends, later eh :)
good luck Jen
and to Charlie, you look so comfy
:)
Awwww, Charlie is adorable here. So snuggly!
I'm sending lots and lots of good luck vibes your way. I'll check out the competition.
Charlie is probably saving up his energy for more warm weather! Cute picture!
Good luck with your submission! Is it about Charlie? ;)
I bet it's a really nice story. I've read your work before and I think is great. Thank you for sharing this link. Hope spring gets your way soon. We got lucky this year as spring arrived even before St. Patty's Day :D (May I add this is extremely unusual for Montreal).
I want to nap with Charlie...Fingers crossed on your writerly sumissions!
Charlie's got the right idea! Good luck with your submission.
Good luck on that story! Escape To The Country sounds like a great read. Our Mommy read that chapter posthaste! We hopes it doesn't come on that Nook thingy. She has her head stuck in there all the time!
I'm reading Patsy's first chapter early tomorrow (it's almost midnight right now and I'm about to toddle off to bed). Hope you have a chance to bask in the sun during your heat wave. Here in Colorado we need rain desperately.
Wishing you blessings on your literary submission! And I'm with Charlie ... it's always a good time for a nap!
Awww Charlie, You look extraordinarily sweet in your sleep!!!
That writing for animals is very interesting. We might submit something.
You deserve the very best of luck! Fingers crossed for you. x
Charlie is soooo lazy! So pleased that instead of following his example you wrote and subbed a story - I have things crossed for you!
Thanks for mentioning my book!
Hi Old Kitty - Charlie certainly knows his mind .. sometimes I'd just love to be much loved cat!! Good luck to Patsy with her book ..
Well done for submitting a short story - a good weekend .. and now have a good week - Charlie will be well sorted, lots of sunshine to snooze in .... cheers Hilary
Best of luck with the short story, what a fabulous cause! Kudos to all involved.
Charlie had the right idea in a heat wave--soak it all up and nap. :-)
Have a fabulous week, both of you!
That's very interesting. Will "Writers for Animals" be a compilation of animal stories, similar to the Chicken Soup series?
What a wonderful opportunity it is - such a brilliant cause to be writing for :-) Good luck x
Charlie we love to sleep when it is warm and sunny too - and a midday siesta is a must!
We hope Jenn gets her story chosen to be in the book.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

lol- I am not on my own computer and just noticed that I was still logged in as someone else when I just commented! Let me try again.
What a fun contest. I just checked it out- and the writing is for such a great cause (I am an animal person). Great news that you found out about it and submitted your work. Yeah! If I get a chance I may try to write something for it, too! Thanks for sharing!

I just logged in and my comment was gone- in which I explained that I accidently commented and didn't realize that someone else was still logged on (I am not on my own computer). Woops!
So- here is what I meant to say. Wow! That short story book sounds great- it is for such a wonderful cause (I am a big animal person). How lucky that you heard about it and were able to submit something. If I have time I hope to submit something now that I heard about it- but I am not sure if I will have time. Thanks for sharing.
My apologies if this message has been posted twice!
