Blameless Nights

Last night I dreamt of cats.  Not just cats...  Of tattoos, of an invitation to a party on gold paper.  Of dressing up as a green bean.  Of slapping someone and holding someone else.  But I mostly recall that there were cats.

I slept the day away.  I can't control when I sleep and when I wake anymore.  I think I miss the daytime, but it has become hard to tell.  It's been a long time since there were any lights in the house other than candles.  I like sitting here in the half light.  I'm listening to the first Editors album and settling down to work.

I shall make tea soon.

I can reveal that I'm working on the blurb to a yet-to-be-released novel by a good friend of mine.  This book has been a part of my world for a long time now.  Many, many years.  One of the characters is so similar to me that the authour was startled when we met.  It's a strange but ultimately romantic tale.  At the same time it is gritty and painful.  I will be sharing an exclusive preview with my readers int he very near future.

I just wanted to share how excited I am to be working on this.  A dear friend is allowing me to help her by doing this.  I can't wait to see the book in print.

Last night I went for a walk.  It should have taken fifteen minutes, but was at least double that because i kept being catted.  I miss having a cat, although I love my rats very much.  There's something about cats.  They always know more than they're letting on.  One day I'll have one again.  Life seems incomplete without a cat in it.

I have a lot of words inside me rigt now.  I think tonight I'll try to make some come out in some sort of order.
