Tootles
This is the part where I try to sort out the rules of this challenge. Obviously, since I made it up, I can do whatever I want with it. My ultimate goal is to finish my book, and tonight’s writing did not move me closer to that goal. On the other hand, I did write tonight, which is a good thing, and so I’m inclined to say it counts.
Tonight’s writing was a bio for a lovely young tiger cat named Tootles who is looking for her forever home. If you want to check her out, you’ll be able to find her on the Protectors of Animals Facebook page, most likely in the next few days. (I’m not responsible for scheduling posts, so I can’t be more specific.) She’s a wonderful little cat, and I’m hoping that my bio helps her find a loving forever home.
It’s interesting that during the six years I’ve had this blog, the one post that keeps getting attention is one from 2020 about how I write cat biographies for a local cat shelter. I don’t know exactly how people keep finding this post, but at least once every few weeks, my statistics show a hit for that post. I suspect people just like reading about the cats, but maybe they’re also thinking that they’d like to volunteer somewhere and they’re interested in what it might be like to help out at a cat shelter.
In any case, it’s late and I have to be up early for Ned’s chemo appointment, so I’m making a unilateral decision that since Tootles’s bio was creative writing (as opposed to a letter, a memo, or a brief), it counts as writing for purposes of this challenge. Therefore, Day Four is in the bank, and it’s time to go to sleep. Good night!
