That's life, isn't it?
Today I finalized GETTING PUBLISHED.
Coming to a Kindle near you, I hope, will be my first book, e-published on the Kindle platform.
A culmination of my publishing dreams, brought to me by the Internet.
And today I learned I will be losing my cat to a progressive neurological affliction, and we can't see him suffer any more, so I have one of those Saddest Vet Appointments Ever.
Picture on the flip:
Here he is, Puffy, my little doofus:
Read more about him.
He's always been "wired wrong," for lack of a better word. But when he was younger it was just freezing in place, needing us to press gently down on the top of his head to "reboot" him. Sometimes his tongue would flap around like a windowshade, and sometimes his limbs would lose their coordination.
But now he's thirteen, and with aging, it seems all his connections are coming loose. He's starting to have seizures when he eats or grooms; so we can't let him go on like this.
My Kindle book, Cat 911, sprang from my love of cats, and my desire to help people fix their cat problems so they and their cats can be happier.
Today I completed the Kindle upload process, and I'm just waiting for the final proofreader to give me to "go" signal. I'll be a published author!
And last night Puffy had the first of three seizures.
So there's nothing else to do... this book gets dedicated to him.
I'll say goodbye tomorrow; I'll miss that sweet heart like crazy.
And as it turns out, he'll have little monuments hanging out there on the Internet.
Like this one.
