Somehow the replacement toenail I’ve constructed from superglue, nail polish, and bandages isn’t working as well as simply not tearing the nail down the middle in the first place.

Advent Calendar
NaNoWriMo motivational tool: get an advent calander, ideally one with chocolate or toys, and only let yourself open a door every 2000 words.
Suddenly Origins
With only a week until NaNo starts, I thought I’d dash off a quick story — turns out to be an origin story for one of my NaNo characters.
Cat Stories for Halloween!
For the last week of Furry Book Month and the week before Halloween, we have two stories for you…
Mice raised from the dead! Zombie puppies! Foolish dogs! And a grumpy cat who’s too clever for his own good! Read the story that started it all, the very first story about Shreddy the cantankerous tabby cat — The Necromouser. And then read the story where Shreddy first meets his unwanted companions, Cooper the empty-headed toy Labradoodle and Susie the lovable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel — Shreddy and the Zomb-dogs.
If you enjoy these two stories, there are more tales of Shreddy and his techno-mystical adventures in The Necromouser and Other Magical Cats, on-sale from FurPlanet for the rest of the month and also available through Amazon. It would make a great book to read for the end of Furry Book Month.

Experimentation in Outlining
