LOL That would be a good thing for a writer. <br /><br />I keep meaning to post updated pictures of Cleo. She's six weeks today and she's a little fuzz ball tornado! My pictures just show a blur. LOL<br /><br />You're right that pets give the character someone to talk to without too much introspection. And for some reason the pet interaction always seems to add a lot of humor! Your next hero having a dog should be lots of fun. :) <br /><br />Congrats again on finishing the revisions!Everything of Interest to a Romance Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11325200005671609112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211628671871017310.post-46295993461394628692011-02-03T18:54:20.364-06:002011-02-03T18:54:20.364-06:00That should be litters.

I knew my mother was the queen of procrastination (I'm the princess), but I still can't believe she's hasn't gotten her fixed before now.<br /><br />I have two cats in RL and have one in my MS. In RL I have and orange & white tabby (Bumblebee) and a gray & white tabby (Caelen). In the book I have a tuxedo cat named Charlotte. I found pets are a good way for your characters to have someone to talk to in order to get info to the readers without having to do it all with introspection.<br /><br />Next hero has a dog. Looking forward to the part he'll play in the story.Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211628671871017310.post-54264775636661697062011-01-08T09:40:57.684-06:002011-01-08T09:40:57.684-06:00I love the name Cleo, and I love her white fur wit...I love the name Cleo, and I love her white fur with the grey accents. (I better stop -- I'm starting to sound like Cruella DeVille. LOL)<br /><br />I didn't know cats could only have one kitten!<br /><br />And yes, my cat had a character arc of sorts -- which helped out my heroine with hers. :)Donna Cummingshttp://www.allaboutthewriting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211628671871017310.post-4317015407681730182011-01-07T22:27:07.938-06:002011-01-07T22:27:07.938-06:00Yes, these are my kitties.

Babies are so funny. <br /><br />Your cat in your story had a character arc? Oh, but of course!

I'm not...What a cutie! Are these your kitties?<br /><br />I'm not really an animal person, but I did include a cat named Serena in my contemporary romance. She's hilarious, and gives the heroine a hard time at first. I hadn't planned on the cat, but it worked out perfectly to have her in the story. She has a character arc too!
